Hi Texas,
thanks for your reply. Not sure wheter the rangerover suspension has anything to do with the new defender. I would say it's quite different. No offence.

As far as I know the only way to raise the suspension is to change the liftrods. I know a lot of people who done it, including the landrover specialist who did the modifictions (on my and many other cars). It's also not speed limited.



My comments were related to how Land Rover designs 'the use of' their air suspension systems which is a delicate balance between the various driving conditions. While the newer cars might be much more sophisticated the physics and dynamics have not changed.

I don't believe Landrover intends for you to raise the suspension beyond what the vehicle is designed to do stock. Landrover specialists are just companies that try to sell you something for a profit. Just because other people do it does not make it therefor approved.

You should just accept the consequences, fix it and expect it might break again.


I concur. The lift kits jist keep them running above a comfortable running height that lr spent alot of time developing after a great amount of research. If the vehicle had reliability at that height lr would endorse it to have improved capability off the shelf.

There is a reason why lr time limits the vehicles in extended mode . Cvs expecially get a hammering at increased height. Cheers
