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

Found out that this lift now supports Discovery 5's, this is a pretty big deal for discoveries in my opinion. The only issue would be in Australia getting it engineered.

"Our patented 6″ lift kit increases approach, departure, high center and decreased body drag. The standard kit utilizes the air ride system, keeping all of the travel modes of the range rover design & characteristics (entry, normal ride & off-road) at the touch of a button. The kits design keeps all of the Range Rovers suspension engineers design working angles. This a bolt on kit."

Works on:

Discovery 5 and all new RRV, RRS

Found some more pics, in vid it says he can do 4inch, maybe that would be engineerable in oz?

Thoughts?

The short mechanics might notice, and would rule out most car parks I can get in at the moment unlike my D II.

Speaking of warranty, has anyone ever had a LR warranty or roadside assist claim denied for something on the car unrelated or related to a modification on the car, because there was a mod on the car.

For example, non standard wheels or tyres, lift rods, bullbar, rear wheel carrier , LR tank.

You would think legally they would have to prove that mod caused failure in the same way insurance claim denials work (unengineered mod caused crash)?

Insurers don't have to prove the mods caused the crash. Cheers

Hey, cheers, In what scenerios?

A whole raft of scenarios mate but a big lift especially on a independently suspended vehicle with anti sway control set up in factory to specific specs will be a big red flag/light to any insurer in Australia both at an underwriting level and claims handling level. I won't go into the legal niceties here but let's just say I have a fair bit of experience in the insurance law area over some decades and I wouldn't do to a d5 what these guys are doing (I would not lift it at all nor modify factory suspension heights on a D5) and happily expect to be covered for damage to my vehicle and any other vehicle in a collision.

Cheers
