G. The spacers provide 2" more ground clearance than anything possible before simply due to the strut maxing out. Right at that max is a bit much for the CV or possibly lower ball joint but I decided not to use my straps and just be careful. The maker of the spacer and straps can more... -

F. ok the confusing part, height sensor arms, rods, and the upper control arms all relative to strut length, etc. So, I'll start by saying every time I try to say how this goes step by step I get confused or forget what I actually had to do or in what order. I frankly now do not recall what... -

E. IIDtool or other interfaces. I have that one and LLams. Both intervene and push more than what the factory lever allows. Yet, they cannot induce a height really any higher than if you place a block under the sill when in high mode, then lower, which causes the system to freak out, and... -

D. "lift kit" "lifted". I have never heard anyone say a stock factory vehicle is lifted, unless of course it has a factory installed lift kit LOL ;) To say an lr3 is lifted though is to then be comparing it to what, not itself obviously if all of them are already lifted by way of the height... -

C. So, part by part: yes of course, larger tires are a tire 'lift' but nobody ever calls larger tires a 'lift'. Usually to get much bigger tires, the actual lift is required first, like when you see a bigg truck on 37's or a Disco 2 on 35's, they have multiple inch lifts by way of springs and a... -

B. adding material to the vehicle is the lift, not adding material is not a lift. How simple can it be said? This is part semantics on the word 'lift' but it's also super simple in that sense. Ad stuff = lift, don't add stuff ≠ lift. Playing with computer tricking is not adding stuff... -

Correct, but not just by my rationale. It's basically everyone in the industry. You keep missing that your examples of "trickery" are just that, trickery, and therefor not lifts. The spacers, whether it be body or strut, allow the vehicle to be higher than the factory limits. I tested this... -

to your ?, answer is NO. Like I detailed several times. The strut spacer literally sets the range of motion higher while retaining the correct travel in the air spring and damper. If you do nothing to settings, the sensor will automatically set the struts to neutral length which results in 2"... -
Replacement of Air Strut Assembly: 06 LR3 HSE
ZERO anything is better about those "remanufactured" struts. He's being cheap on something that I would not be cheap on... Just get what AB or Rovers North has and be happy you'll have an accountable/helpful place to call a person if anything goes wrong. This is super easy DIY actually. Houm... -
LR4 vs LR3 Air Suspension Struts
The easiest thing would be the dampers to affect the feel of the handling. The spring rate is going to be the air pressure, the volume of air in chamber, not so much the rubber I would venture to guess. -
LR4 vs LR3 Air Suspension Struts
I think you can pull some interface parts off an old rear strut but having gone through this, I'd just go with the oem or factory parts like seen on Rovers North. -
Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
For wheels, yes, for total solution one can also put on lr4 tdi spec brakes i would assume just as I swapped in the V6 gas matched brake size. You probably also know Ryan but the NAS market briefly got just a few lr3 in v6 form and those came with factory 17". If it were me setting up an lr4... -
Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
yeah 75 to 53 isn't enough. I think the compomotives work because they are machined or cast with more clearance where it's needed but also their offset is 44 and it's barely enough but only as much as needed. You have to keep in mind when looking at parts sources that even if it's a factory... -

LR4 vs LR3 Air Suspension Struts
That's an interesting note I had not heard of before. Makes sense why the lr4 feels a lot more dampened if it's not simply due to the geometry and few small parts in the front end suspension. -

....on 2nd thought, you guys do whatever the hell you want. The results of someone else's bad choice are not my problem. I think I'll just quite trying to help people not waste time on BS I already went through years ago when nobody had done anything yet to learn from on the lr3. Go waste... -

You need to state what you think I argued against as if it was your idea or that of anyone else. LOL does this simplify it for you: rods and electronic "lifts" are not lifts. Physical changes are. Ideally we would not alter suspension geometries but it's a trade of for ground clearance as... -

You’re bringing up a lot here actually ;) This is theoretical because the vehicle isn’t simply body on frame. There may be other negative issues created or trade offs if everything isn’t based on its attachment to the frame. At zero air, yes, a 2” body spacer would equally raise the fenders... -

Not sure what you’re asking for but my above post has confusing typo : should read “RUB like hell”. The mods for large tires are covered in depth in other threads especially those with heavy duty builds: Frame, body metal, fender liners, minor relocation of wires and hvac tubing plus other items... -

1-it’s not about air pressure (yet it may actually be higher due to lifting the vehicle via that column of air) It’s about keeping up with demands on the system. Speculation vs observed use: Anyone who’s used these a lot in high mode has experienced the compressor at some point getting hot or... -

It’s not a “lift” because it is generally accepted that a lift implies something more than stock can provide. You cannot really use 34” tires without the spacers or a body lift because you’d have to run the struts extended too far all the time. It would be retarded, literally. The compressor...
