Thread: 6inch lift kit avail for D5! 35's Anyone?

35's would have to be engineered .
The price tag is not palatable @ 20K + freight and duty.
Why is it legal ? You might well ask ..
Because it will sit in ROAD MODE at the stock height. Period.
If you would like more answers just ask me .

Interesting will have to find out what method he uses to get susp to drive in normal road mode, lower than stock.

Anyone know with ID tool or other electronic susp adjustment tools the lowest you can safely adjust normal freeway height to on a new RRS, RRVogue or D5?

-25, -35, -50?

LLAMS is programmed to lower the L494 by 18mm or 34mm by calibration option and the L405 and L462 by 21mm or 39mm by calibration option. The 18mm/21mm default lowering when used with access height is very close to the bump-stops. The 34mm/39mm option cannot be used with access height because the suspension won't go that low. Note that the L494 sits lower than the L405/L462.

Hmm thanks so on freeway minimum lower than stock height?

L495 13mm
L405 L462 18mm

No other way to go lower at freeway height with LLAMS?

The Vogue and Disco can lower normal height by 39mm although I strongly suspect this would not be advisable due to lack of suspension travel resulting in the vehicle continually bouncing off the bump-stops on minor surface irregularities, so realistically 21mm. The RRS is either 34mm or 18mm with the same expected bouncing if lowered 34mm for other than moving slowly.
These vehicles don't have the high speed lowering of the L319/L320/L322 - they stay at normal height.

Very interesting and helpful

So LLAMS max recommended max

Vogue 21mm

Disco 21mm

RRS 18mm

Would it be fair to say all three could be pushed to 25mm without much drama with whatever tool allows specific mm of drop.

So 1inch drop

So potentially you could do a 4inch subframe drop, and 1 inch elec suspension drop and only lift 3inches for engineering purposes + say 50mm tyres giving you:

100mm total onroad lift
offroad 125mm+
or 100mm tyres giving you 150mm lift onroad or 175mm lift offroad

Or

3inch sub drop, 1 inch electric susp drop + 2inch tyre increase for max lift without cert. Total 75mm onroad lift, offroad 100mm+ lift

I'm confused. You asked about suspension lowering then speak of sub-frame lowering. The discussion was of a kit to raise the body so I suspect you were wanting to know how far the suspension can electronically or otherwise be raised, not lowered. Those Llams measurements are for lowering the vehicle, not for raising.

Llams' medium raised is OR1 height (35mm RRS, 40mm Vogue & D5) and high raised 54mm/63mm or by calibration option OR2 height (65mm/75mm). However I'm not proposing that a raised height be used when road conditions don't warrant although a lot of my GC kits are fitted to obtain guard clearance for larger tyres.
