Thread: Can it be done?

Would be easier to fit P38 (Solid axle) front air suspension than D3//4 (Independent suspension).

I know that's not what you asked.

I was going to say the same. A far better (mechanically) fitment would be the P38 or RRC air springs and then you just need to relocate the shock which would be far simpler. There are kits to move classic shocks to the front, but I'm not sure if that would interfere with the sway bars on a D2, but rearward would no doubt be a similar exercise.

BUT, without having one in front of me, it looks like a D3/4 spring/shock assembly would also be a really interesting and potentially straight forward conversion.

Slunnie, what are the shocks and air bags you pictured from please.

Cheers

I just went to google images and put in "discovery 4 air springs"

discovery 4 air springs - Google Search

How would u control them? Would u have to add an aftermarket processor/bcu to run all 4 airbags or would you run the front 2 on a seperate system than the back?

That question may be answered in the D4 forum,,
I'm not sure where the later D's get their ride height from,,

The D3/4 use a small rotary sensor connected to a rod which connects to the upper suspension arm. You can buy all those bits, but then you will need to write something that manages it all.

Then you have things like crossover valves and the like.

Anything is possible these days with arduino's and rasberry pi's but it sounds like a lot of effort!

Would pump up shocks fit? might be an easier way.
