Thread: Extended and Super Extended Height

LLAMS is more convenient albiet a bit more expensive - move from access to the equivalent of full extended with the push of a button.

Likewise I believe our home grown GOE rods are more convenient to use.

However just an update on my system - was in the Bunnings carpark and set the car to access height forgetting I had LLAMS on -20mm and as the car lowered it must have hit the bumpstops and went straight into extended - then I tried to go to super extended and the car lifted further with a 'gong' but no dash indication. As the height setting was still on access (and LLAMS at -20) overall height was about the same as offroad height. I did not think to switch LLAMS form -20 to +50 to see what would happen.

So it does work.

The GOE rods seem to allow for alteration from standard to high lift as one changes from on-road to off-road terrain, is this easy to achieve, is a special tool required?

Anyone able to answer regarding the cv joint etc?
