Self leveling system

[fliptop]

How does the self leveling system work on the R/r as iam thinking off puting a lift kit on to my one.

[hobbit]

From what I had on my old rrc, throw the thing away, once they age they normally dont work properly and sag the back end, if you are uprating the suspension anyway, it will fight to adjust it to its own setting

Just check the price of the new ones on paddocks :shock:

The idea of the system is to level the height of the back end under loaded conditions. Uprated springs and shocks, will cancel out the benefits of the thing.

throw it away with a 2" lift it doesnt work anyway. it will not even be questioned on the mot just more weight lost

:D That was DPGs first job when he got the Rangie i now own, dont need it if your fitting a lift kit.

It doesn't work with a lifting kit PLUS it limits the rebound travel to that of a normal-height car.

It works by 'pumping up'.  When the car is loaded the back end sags, right? If so then when you're travelling the back end then wallows, each time it dips too far the self-leveler pumps up against and air spring to provide a restoring force and so help keep the back end up,  They are good for things like towing but having part of the weight sat on the diff rather than the ends of the axle doesn't help stability.

Discos have stiffer springs because they don't have a self-leveler (usually) and you'll find the lift kit is uprated anyway.  The same kit may be 35% uprated for a Rangie and 25% for a Disco.
