Thread: D4 Suspension height adjustment rods

Before you buy the Rods, have a look at the LLAMS solution !!

I've got the GOE rods. They work well, are easy to change over, etc.

Impact on drive train? None that I know of. I wouldn't drive the car in off road height unless I need to anyway. Having said that I did 5 days on Fraser in October and did a lot of kM's with no dramas at all.

You would I think have to be careful not to drive to far or fast in extended mode.

I do not leave them fitted when the car's in for a service.

Glad someone posted this I was wondering myself. Firstly what's GOE?

I saw a kit on eBay for a 2.5 inch kit, too high if you ask me, at off road height the rear wheels are already off camber. 30mm higher would be fine I'd say.

I saw a grey/silver D3 or D4 in Sydney (Revesby) kitted out with an ARB bar, rack & ladder, it appeared to have a lift of some kind but it appeared to ride ok.

There are heaps of threads on the pros and cons of all systems - last was only a couple of weeks ago - do a search it will not be too far back.

I like +30mm as I it prevents most of the bashing of the bump-stops that occurs when travelling quickly on rough roads or tracks, although sometimes full off-road height is needed to keep the ride smooth. Cornering on sealed surfaces is not quite as controlled as at std height though, having occasionally been reminded by the extra lean (D3 anti-roll bars don't help)that I haven't returned to normal height after having used +30mm for the 1st few kms from my house. On the return journey home the rough ride soon reminds me to switch to +30mm if I've forgotten to select it. +30mm is my alternate standard height.

Yes +30mm on the standard height, so that would be +30mm on the off road setting as well..

But it depends on the car.. My Defender only had about 30mm above standard with HD springs & I liked it..

+30mm is on any height but at the driver's selection so only when desired. It also provides off-road and other heights by selection.

I need to declare a vested interest in the Llams kits as I make them. However my comments were intended to support the benefits of a 30mm lift, which is also available by other means including at the driver's selection.
