Thread: Lifted P38 on air - questions

Definitely not too late! I can shorten the rear lower arms quite easily! The upper arms are untouched.

I'll let you know how I go calibrating my eas - it could be the tricky part from what you described above. Hoping the mods I've made still keep the settings in the prescribed and limiting ranges for each height.

Quick question. With the tf144 and tf145 sockets by terrafirma, do you throw the inner bush cups away? Given there are already cups fitted to the axle pad. There was not enough thread left to fit the nylock nut with the cups in place. Unless I need a special tool?

That was meant to say shockers not sockets.

I used one set of cups out of the two. They were the "flatter" ones. I used them on the outer sides of the bush.

Keith. Same here then. Glad to hear.

Well the Terrafirma's feel a lot more original to the Koni's I've just taken off. Purer. More Range Rover. Softer. Perhaps plusher. Not sure if I prefer them though. Feels like a backward step in terms of ride quality on the road.

Spent quite a bit of the afternoon pumping the air springs up and down so the bump stops sit on various height spacer blocks I've cut up from left over wood. And climbing underneath to add more when the eas brain doesn't allow the setting, because it's not in range. Recorded the eas heights and wrote then in to the eas ecu. Thought I'd just sit back then and watch the car dance through its 4 prescribed heights. But oh no. It's little lopsided. Think the front sensors (original) might be giving me spurious readings. There's about a ten point difference in the 0-255 scale numbers at any particular height. That seems excessive to me.

Will try again soon.

Anybody had any prop shaft problems with the lift? 50mm extra lift over 1m is 3 degs or so. How many degrees do the props (UJ's) take before you shorten their life drastically?

Sounds like a calibration is in order! My opinion on the Terrafirma shocks is that they are a better all-round shock. I think they are a touch firm on the blacktop, but corrugations and rough roads - they really shine! They work really well when given a hard time!

10 points is quite the difference between sensors! Good luck mate.
