Anyone running Rover's North 2" lift rods?

All the time I spend on here I've never heard anyone mention these. I have Johnson's ready to install but don't want to always drive at 2+. For the $279 price tag I probably should just buy the IIDTool and not get dirty.

Anyone running these?

Get IID if anything.

So sick of these companies charging $200 for some ****** little wires with grommets.

I'm pretty new to my LR4 - just clarifying - can you use the IID to permanently raise the suspension 2" without the need for the rods?

I bought the Johnson's too, but haven't put them in yet. Also saw the RN model's, and liked that you could keep them installed but go easily between no lift and the 2".. But didn't want to pay the $280.

Yes, the IID tool will override via software and more importantly, you can fine tune it. The rods are a mechanical override and the length of the rod = same lift. IID tool you can make different profiles with varying lift (or drop) heights. No fumbling around under the truck for rods, just a quick few taps through the menu displayed on the dash (or your phone if you opt for the Bluetooth model) and you are done.

Plus, there's dozens of other features with the IID tool like code reading and systems settings that would normally take a trip to the dealer. As MBW said, why pay $200 for a cheap metal rod with a rubber grommet?

Best investment I made.
Can do so much with the tool, it negates a lot of the aftermarket stuff.
Plus it gives you the ability to return it back to stock, when needed.

How much typically are these and is it similar to vida/dice that Volvo uses? I have a BT OBD2 reader with iPhone app that I use for my Miata to clear codes and read..I'm wondering if it will work
