Range Rover air suspension lift

Does anyone know if it is possible to put a lift kit on an air suspension?  :?

If so, how is it done? :-s

My mate has a P38 with a lift but he had to remove the air bags from the suspension.  

Im thinking you want to keep the air suspension on AND lift it????  

The trouble with land rover is thay had to go and make it all complicated.... :evil:

I don't know if the spring base to axle is the same as the non air system,  if it is then why can't you put spacers between the two to lift it that way?
Have you got a picture of the suspention in question?

:D Hi Julie, ive got a copy of the Land Rover Owner International which has a ( i know its not a Range Rover but ) Defendar 90 with a lifted air suspention kit. The mag is dated October 2002, and the article was on page 58. By what i can gather he used xtra long shocks no springs front or rear but a special solenoid valve block which he can operate each corner individually. The kit was imported from america and cost originally wait for it  :shock: £2.000  :shock:  but that was back in 2002. The bloke who built it is now importing the kit in to Britain himself and can be contacted on ( 01274 511542 ). Hope this helps, or you could get a back copy from L.R.O.I and have a read your self. :D

Doesn't the air suspension allow you to elevate the car anyway? if so the lift kit is the switch :D

If you need more then I'd think it meant spacers under the airbags and bump stops, longer dampers or change the damper mountings and modify the mounting for the sensor on each wheel to 'fool' the control system into thinking it's standard height.  This last bit is what will actually raise the car though I'd think.
