Thread: Help needed!

    Help needed!

    Evening all
    I've just signed up to this forum and was looking for some help from fellow Disco 3 owners.

    I have a '07 Disco 3 SE and was looking for a small lift (approx. 2" to 2.5"). I have read about Johnson Rods and they sound like a cheap option of getting this lift, was wondering if anyone has used them or know what they're like?

    Also, if I go up in tyre size my ratios are going to be out of whack, has anyone adjusted ratios on a LR3 or is that even possible?

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    If you have airbags, go to www.greenovalexperience.com GOE shortened rods is what you need. Easy to fit and swap over as needed. The most inexpensive lift kit on this planet!

    For an electronic option go to www.llams.com.au

    Both vendors on this site.

    Both work very well.

    Thanks for that! GOE rods sound like the Johnson Rods, I'd be happy to fit either as it gives you the lift for a super cheap price

    But what about the diff ratios? With larger tyres it would make the LR3 much slower and with less "go"

    In relation to the gearbox ratios, for the amount of variation in tyre size (approx 7% max) the standard ratios will be fine.

    Do any of you guys use the GOE rods or Johnson rods? If so, do you run all the time or just when going offroad?

    Sorry for the amount of questions haha

    You should only use them when needed - saves wear on your CVs and wear on tyres.

    With LLAMs everything can be done with a push of a button where with the rods you need to get out in the mud and move them to the right spot.

    The GOE rods are on all the time, but in the upper hole, so,normal height. When I need more height off road, just swap to the lower hole for a lift.

    I also have IID Tool, which can also increase the height via re-calibrating the suspension to fine tune the height.

    Love my Llams three just the Llams alone gives you three different standard height options without speed limitations and in combination with the standard height controller and the special programs switch you get even more options although speed limited

    As Phl mentioned, a third approach is to use something like EAS Control or IIDTool (from Gap Diagnostic) both of which let you store three suspension "profiles" - eg. standard, up a bit, up a lot - both plug into the OBDII port and load the profile as you want to use it. IIDTool also has the benefit that it is a reasonably capable diagnostic tool that can do things like read/clear faults, live values and suchlike.

    On the + side, no getting in the mud, nothing to install, and both have a range of other uses,

    On the - side, expensive.
