How does the suspension work on a D3 coiler, being independent is it crossed-linked some how like air-sprung D3s?The End

The systems are identical just one has bags one has springs 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
but when the air-sprung version is in off-road height, the two sides are connected to give a beam-axle effect, which I think is what Slimer is referring to...
Yep, that's what I'm interested in, what stops it ending up sitting on it's belly in a situation with the springs fully compressed on both sides?The End

I would say that Nothing would stop it from doing that Slimer. It's independantly sprungBodsys Brake Bible
Elephant repellant on the bonnet stops both springs sagging together.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

But I thought it's all independent whether coiled or air ...obviously the air suspension has the advantage of the dynamic suspension system to provide additional 'electronic' control ....but where is this beam connection ?? It's not physical ...is it ??21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Ah right I see

Cross Link Valves
The cross-link valve provides a connection between the two air springs on the same axle. When de-energized, the cross-link valve prevents air passing from one air spring to another. When the solenoid is energized, the valve spool moves and allows air to pass from one air spring to the other. This increases wheel articulation and improves ride comfort at low vehicle speeds.
This is driven by the dynamic system ...I can't see anything on GTR to suggest anything similar on a coiler though 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Is the ARB five times the size on a coiler to simulate a beam perhaps?
Edit : Forget that. What a load of Bs I just wrote; A beam would be the mechanical opposite of the ARB.Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?

Coiler spec is :
Front - Independent with single rate coil spring, twin tube damper and high stress anti-roll bar
Rear - Independent with dual rated coil spring, twin tube damper and anti-roll bar21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
