 Neil. I'll be glad when its finally available so that people can get them if its the function, cost and fitment solution for them.

My concern with these would be the increased strain on the CV joints  I'm not as good as I once was........but I'm as good once as I ever was.

It all depends on how you drive the Vehicle.
Heavy right foot & full lock can always stress CV's
Front is the weak link, especially if the rear has an eDiff with stronger CV's! 2014 SDV6 HSE White, LLAMS Height Controller, Tinted Glass, Tuff Ant Sliders and 18" steel wheels, Safari Snorkel, Rhino Rack Platform, ARB Air Compressor, Custom Drawer and storage unit -http://www.box.com/s/jem0ilac3cner2mexq64 UHF CB, 4x4 Intellegence RWC, 120ltr Long range tank, Rock Sliders and Compressor protection plate Beanie grill, De Tango.

mwestcrew wrote:Yep those tyres look very interesting.......if you follow the lucky 8 link they have lift kits for D3 that have adjustable rods for the height sensors and a set of spacers that go on top of the airspring so that it isn't stressed by being in raised mode all the time. This lift kit will let you fit 32inch tyres with no clearnance problems.
Wil those spacers work on the LR4 or are the airbags different than the ones they used on the LR3? Also, since you brought up the point of being able to put bigger tires, do you know how to re-calibrate the speedometer to get the correct speed/trip distance again? Thanks for the help.

I suspect the main reason for fitting lift blocks is to reduce topping-out of the shocks when in off-road mode with raised height obtained by whatever means of manipulating sensor values. However the risk of pulling the right front CV joint apart when on full lock and with lots of droop is increased as the suspension can drop further thus trying to stretch the driveshaft even more.
I can't see that driving at speed at off-road height is going to stress the airspring any more than at a slower speed, if indeed it does. I will put-up with possible shortened CV joint life to be able to travel our outback roads at raised height to reduce the liklihood of exhaust system damage, as well as increasing bump-stop clearance for comfort and vehicle longevity reasons. The advantage of any driver-selected raised height system is that normal height can be used when conditions are suitable.

the saga continues in 2012.
i have just dented my fuel tank in lesotho and am investigating ways to stop the car goning to normal height over 50km/h.
software nothing available
changing the arms to fool the ride height sensor quite a few available.
I like the look of the Britpart DA7531 as it is aluminium and although adjustable also has a std option.
any comments before I place my order ..........

Can you mention an approximate price as that is not given in your link. A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

I used to run 265 70 R17s on my D3 which gave me an extra 2cm clearance.
No such luck with D4 bigger brakes mean 19 inch rims, the chaps at the tyre shop tell me mine are oval.
what do you mean by "fault clearing" ?
