Using Llams or other means to raise the suspension does not retain stock up/down travel even though the full travel is unchanged.

You are correct.

Lets maybe call them, Subframe spacers

Say you did a 4inch Subframe spacer

Then adjusted electronically the suspensions height to 1 inch lower than stock at normal height.

All other electronic heights including off road are as per standard.

This gives you a 3 inch lift on the freeway compared to the standard onroad normal height. (Safer and easier to engineer)

It also gives you a 4 inch lift compared to the standard off-road height, when you really need the extra height for tyre clearance at top of your travel + greater obstacle clearance.

This also gives you standard up and down travel in the off-road height setting as this height setting has not been touched electronically.

The only thing you will lose is 1 inch of up travel on road.
