What-If: Doing Adjustable Ride Height on Discovery
What-If: Doing Adjustable Ride Height on Discovery
Hi there from Adam in NYC
This is a What-If question.
I was wondering how doable and much would it cost to do an adjustable ride
height suspension for the Land Rover Discovery?
I was thinking from 1 1/2 inch ride height to say about 4 inch ride height.
I am currently using stock 16 but doing
something like obviously lets you go up a few inches to maybe 18+.
How would that be implemented? I was thinking one dual system shock each
side with one shock being a adjustable airbag
system so you can do cockpit ride adjustment. Another system I saw was
sneaking a airbag up on the top of the shock mount
and doing the rise/fall there. That works great with those small shock
towers in the engine compartment but you do have to
make custom towers.
Then you have to worry about the wheel alignment once you go past a certain
point.
How about it?
