Thread: Suspension Lift Query

do you have any load in the rear? sounds wrong to me if it is empty

The car is empty. I tried to move the brackets for the height sensors a little.
It made no difference.
No complaints about how the suspension is working though, it just looks a little odd.

Hi Jason,

15mm difference sounds normal.

See the standard HTG measurements here:

Yeah its pretty standard. This said, over the next 12 months or so the front springs will settle a bit and level out the ride.

I have the lift & the front looks higher than the back. I keep thinking my bags are leaking!!

Hi Jason,

I have an obviously stupid question , but as part of your 2" suspension lift did you also get spacers for under the rear air bags and the extension for the height sensors?

if you want it to sit level, find someone with a nanocom and get them to adjust the ''stored heights'' for the sls system, change the height stored by 10-20mm save and measure the outcome. after doing the springs and spacers in my HSE the front has now come down abit, so i now have to re do the rear sls heights. oh and make sure the spacer brackets for the sls sensor arms are in line with the arm.
give it a few weeks and see how it settles.

this is the process to change the stored heights with nanocom.
first go into disco abs sls go to settings, press read settings and note down the stored heights. (mine are at 153 both sides)
this screen nanocom sls.doc
then go into disco abs sls, utility, press the start button for raise left. (it will inflate the bag 10mm at a time) repeat for right. then press the store button, you will be asked to turn the ignition off for 60sec. heights are stored.
this screensls2.doc
re check in the disco abs sls settings screen at the new stored heights.

Follow the hip-line of the vehicle and you will see that the front guards are higher openings and a more open design to the rear (so the wheels can turn and flex etc).

For a disco to be 'level' the back end is actually appearing lower..
To get equal spacing above front and rear tyres the vehicle will actually sit "nose down, bum up".

15mm is about correct.
