I was talking to a fellow Disco owner today re 50mm lift and he said something that really surprised me and havent heard it before
He was told that if you lift a Disco by 50mm or more the airbags wont deploy
Anybody heard this before ??
Hope thats not the case
Might have something to do with the hight & where the sencer's are on/near the chassie I guess??
Any Idea's bloke's ??

He would be referring to a body lift, not a suspension lift.

If you look at the LRA sight, their new project vehicle is a Disco S2 and they say there are some problems and illegalities in raising (bodylift) airbag equipped vehicles.
They've apparently found some loophole in the law and from an engineering perspective, are working to overcome the airbag deployment issues.
