The jacking system is already there, it's called air suspension. LR need to modify it such that it can also lift the wheel as well as it's normal function of pushing it down. That way you could lift the car up, put a stand (jack) under it, lower it onto the jack and keep going while it lifts the wheel up. The only issue it would probably cost more than the std jack to modify the EAS!:(
It's not there, it's a bellows or effectively a single acting cylinder. To make it a double acting Ram would require extensive changes for very little gain..
However you can use it to change a tyre - I'm working on something in my spare time that may work out..
That is, in effect, what already happens when using the suspension arm to lift. As you jack there are a few self-levelling movements of the suspension and after ~4-5 movements the wheel lifts off the ground.Quote:
