Done same for my Jeep Grand Cherokee be aware that your ride will not be so plush anymore as bags need be inflated with more pressure

@Lucky8 ... Just wanted to know whether the control rods put any stress on the bellows as they would always be inflated to the max without any room for cushioning.
@Lucky818 күн бұрын
I don't think so. The bags were designed to handle the amount of pressure. We are putting in them.

Good video - great product - just bought the 1 inch lift rods - do you need an alignment once installed?
@kylehendrix35313 жыл бұрын
I was curious also if the 1” version requires a alignment.
@nissaiyvickcheka3862 жыл бұрын
Your vehicle will still drive straight most likely but your camber changes when on lift mode or access mode. Staying in lifted will result change in toe a bit causing toe wear so an alignment is recommend.

So when (not if) the air system fails, you're sitting on your tires.

Justin, should the 1" be enough to clear a 265/70r18 or 275/70r18 on the defender 110's? I believe you are running 2" on your 110 but a 35" vs the 32.6" to 33" diameter. Just seeing which I need to order and would really prefer the 1" :)

Do you guys do anything to offset the positive camber that occurs after lifting the truck with rods?

How much extra wear and tear does this setup add to the stock suspension compressor with needing to keep the air bags at a higher air pressure than stock all of the time?

Stumbled across NewDefenderMods who make subframe lift kits for the new Defender. Here's why they don't recommend lift rods any more: Keeps suspension bags at a height factory did not intend. Possible warranty issues Uncomfortable ride all the time. Solid style lift rods can lead to height sensor issues as factory height sensors are highly flexible for a reason. To protect the sensors in case of impact. Loose down travel, every inch you lift using rods you lose that in down travel. Suspension tops out when four-wheel driving in high mode, producing audible and uncomfortable clunking. Suspension geometry is affected when using lift rods away from factory perfect settings If you run bigger tires, If susp fails you end up on the tires stuck with no way out, cant even tow. Due to the above, we no longer recommend them or endorse them.

Justin, sorry for the question, my Defender had to go in for service and I want to double check what the factory height should be vs the lift. Do you know what the factory height is from the center of the hubs to the wheel wells? I think the dealer may have recalibrated the sensors back to factory height forgetting I had the 1" rods on...Thanks!

Is this a ‘sensor lift’?

Nice kit for bigger tires, does the kit effect the air suspension in extended mode? Will it course over high pressure for air bag when in extended mode?

I bought this lift kit from you guys and had a mechanic put it on my defender. When i went to pick it up, he said everything worked and went on perfectly. when i got home and went for a drive, i was in off-road height setting, and pressed it down to go into normal ride height. i got a message on the gauge cluster that says "Re-select suspension height if clear of obstacle. Suspension is now in extended mode." And then basically wouldnt go down into normal access height- it would stay in off-road. Any idea?

None of this makes any sense. All the functions work as they should. What size did you order?

@@Lucky8 i got the 2 inch proud rhino lift kit. not sure what didnt make sense. i bought the kit, had a mechanic put the rods on my defender, and when im in off-road height setting in the car and i press it to go down into access mode, it wont go down. i get a message on the gauge cluster that says "Re-select suspension height if clear of obstacle. Suspension is now in extended mode." And then wouldnt go down into normal access height (the middle ride height setting on the defender) it would stay in off-road

We have thousands of these kits out there and they were also used on the Trek edition Rovers. My guess would be a bad height sensor. Or perhaps the way vehicles calibrated at the factory

@arielle_australia Жыл бұрын
It tricks the air suspension into thinking that the truck is lower than it is, so it pumps the suspension up higher. Effectively, your normal height becomes offroad height, and offroad height becomes extended height.
