If so, how is it done? :-s

Have you got a picture of the suspention in question?

Post by: muky-kid. on April 07, 2005, 20:03:41: :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: Ã‚Â£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

Post by: Range Rover Blues on April 22, 2005, 11:18:26: 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.
