Thread: Adjustable Air shocks in the front?

Not sure what you mean about adjustable air shock for different heights.......

Just need the correct mounts and shock open/closed to suit the airbag.

Your shock mounts aren’t designed to take such loads, so no.

Spring perches is your old point so airbag and external shock mounts ala P38 would work.

It is possible for the p38a bag to fit in a d2a, but the ride is harsh over man hole covers. But on the flip side is amazing over speed bumps at speed. I would definitely recommend custom perches, a true weld on shock mount and firestone bags.

buy a range rover with air suspension

Are we talking air shocks with the original coil springs or are we talking about replacing the coil springs with air springs and using the standard shocks that they come with?

Clarification is needed.

They come in manual?

I've wondered about fitting airbags inside coils in the front. I discussed this with an ARB expert who said the issue could be if an airbag failed at speed it could affect the steering and make the vehicle swerve.
I still think it's an interesting idea.

The original idea was to replace the existing shocks with air shocks. But I have been told that the shock mount is not strong enough. If you use air springs, you will need a perch to relocate the shocks. This is looking at the front suspension. Another suggestion is to use P38 air springs with relocated shockers.
I wonder if the D3 air springs would fit? maybe too wide.
