self leveling unit

(1/1)

way2deep:
i read somewhere that these become non-operational when you fit a lift kit, so would it be legal mot wise to remove it?and would it affect the handling? :?

Range Rover Blues:
Yoou're right, it doesn't work which is why the rear springs are often very uprated.  You can safely remove it, Discos never had one in the first place, and save a little weight.  Just make sure your brake hose can stand the stretch if you lift it or jump anything!

Our is still fitted BTW, it does no harm.

simdeb:
my range did not have one and never had a problem

Garth:
What if I wanted to remove the self leveling unit and keep my motor standard height.  Its sitting low at the rear at the moment and I was going to get another SLU of a mate who is bobtailing and doesn't want his.
But reading the above could I do away with the SLU alltogether.
I will be towing a 21 foot caravan so should I go for the uprated springs like the ones on MM 4X4 web page.
Cheers
Garth
