    SLS and 2" lift and off road height?

    I'm not sure that I would need to use off road height with a 2" lift. If push comes to shove, are there any drawbacks to using off road height for a short time?

    I lengthened my abs sensor cables and brake lines so I could still use off road height after a 2 inch lift kit went in. Have used it plenty off road for steep exits and approaches. Has been free of issues since fitted in 2018......

    The D2 that I’ve now sold has a 2” lift and rear airbags. I used extended heights quite a few times and I never had any issues.

    When I put in the spacers, I noticed that the axle was held up by the 2" extra length shocker. The brake line and ABS cable were fine.
    It is nice to know that the extra 2 inches is there if needed.

    Mines lifted 2 inches and have used extended height lots of times with no issues.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    As for the others, the extended lift does come in handy and will be used!
