IID or other suspension tool to aid - Seattle area

Ravi Singh · Jan 14, 2021

Are these tools vehicle specific? If not, anyone in the Seattle area have such a tool to help me calibrate my suspension. The right front went bad at Tahuya and was sagging. I replaced all 4 last summer (original at 180k miles) and I need to recalibrate because the suspension keeps settling after a few days of non use. I may have an air leak but figure I’d try a recal first. Thanks folks. Ravi.

The GAP Diagnostic BT IID tool that I purchased last month (and I think that most have) is locked to one vehicle VIN# at a time. It can be moved around, but I think it's a pain. GAP does offer a 'Pro' version that is not, but it costs thousands $. Meant for indy mechanics I guess. Good luck and hope your hand is better!

Ok. I’ll get my own. Hand is great. Very very lucky. Thanks for asking.

The dealership should recalibrate it for you without charging you an arm and a leg, but you'd be better served just putting that $ into the GAP tool and going from there.

Solid advice. Any consensus GAP vs iLAND offered by AB? I’m sure this has been discussed many times. Each has its own merits.

GAP hands down, I’ve read iLand is similar but not as robust. Land Rover forums have comparisons but just get the GAP.

GAP for sure...

I'm happy with mine. Also pleased with the good tech support from GAP. Btw, I purchased mine from Lucky8 during their Black Friday sale for $428. It's back up to over $500, but seems like there may be room to move on that if you ask. Some on here have said mentioning this forum helps. Worth a shot.

Will do. Trying to convince my brother to go halves since he has a 3 and RRS and get a second license. But he’s not a DIYer.

I bought a second license for my LR4, totally worth it.

They pop up for sale here on EP every so often.
