Read this thread, I wouldn't unless you like replacing your airbags!

See the price LLAMS sorts that out - and i think its cheaper

I get the impression that company - the guy comes across as a machinist with a machine that needed to make something... Instead of sitting idle.

The kits are sometimes well thought out, and other times seem very 'stop gap'

On a D3/D4/RRS I would avoid spacers..

Thanks lads,

I have the GOE rods, and will go LLAMS down the track, just wanted to know if anyone had tried spacers.
Interesting idea, but clearly not quite thought out properly yet. Some bad stories to read there

Would work well if they also provided 2" blocks and other bits and bobs to lift the body 2" off the chassis. Other wise I do not see the point - surely end result is the same as having rods fitted or as mentioned LLAMS.

The big advantage with these is that you get the lift and can continue to run your suspension at lower pressure. This gives a nicer ride. I really prefer the ride at normal height compared to off-road height.

Of course you have the disadvantage that at full droop it looks like the strut can rub, perhaps some judicious use of a grinder can rectify that.
The other disadvantage is that you are always at +2" at normal height and if you lower to access height the ride is too soft.

I think with maybe 1" (25mm) spacers and a custom calibration on LLAMS you could probably get a good compromise. ie. a comfortable ride at normal height at say +10mm higher than standard and the same at off-road height at the original off-road height or even +10mm higher.

Thanks Garry,
That also brings to mind another question, is there body lift kits available for the D3/LR3?
I'm looking around on the google to no avail. Not looking to do it, just researching.

Cheers,

No, because it's not legal in any way shape or form...

And it gains nothing!!!

I thought a 2" body lift with no other sort of lift would be legal - but I agree other than maybe giving a bit more space under the sills, most of the low bits would still be low as they bolt to the chassis.
