Wow, thanks for the quick replies. The broake line extenders look perfect for what I need. I will now need to find a UK supplier fo them.
So the standard shocks will be ok then even with the air suspension at full off-road height. That would be a big help, means I can put off buying new shocks till after christmas. Does anybody else have the 2" air spring spacers with standard shocks (saftey in numbers)?
I must admit the shocks I had to change were Ironman, not OEM.Quote:

The brake line extenders would not have worked on mine as there simply was not enough length in the rigid pipe to move it.
A set of +2" goodridge stainless hoses is not expensive tbh, and improves braking and gives piece of mind with a lifetime warranty.
With my 40mm SLS lift the kit came with a bracket to lower the brake hose and ABS cable which has been fine with OME N108 shocks.
After fitting the longer Koni's I will take Bundalene's advice on this forum and fit P38 brake hoses to the front and put the front D2 hoses on the rear.
The front D2 hoses are 140mm longer than the rears.
HI Nick, can you just explain what you mean by "top out". Does this prevent the suspension going into off road height, does it put extra stress on the air bags? What happens when you select off road height and the shocks top out?Quote:

Topping out is the inner piston of the shock hitting the top of the can when the suspension is extended.
Not a good thing as it damages the valving discs on the pistons. Continued topping out has been known to drop the piston cup completely and the upper rod coming completely out of the shock body.

Thats my mind made up, I am going to order 2" extended shocks. ThanksQuote:
