    If anyone was in doubt about this and running some lift (GAAP or Rods), do it! Truck feels amazing with the SYA installed

    You seem to have more latitude to do things in the US than we do in the UK / EU. Most insurers run a mile over here with these sorts of modifications, that is if you can now get insured! Many insurers won't insure Land Rovers and those that will have more than doubled insurance premiums . Its a real mess so mods are even harder to get passed them! Shame really, I think this is an elegant solution.

    Hello! I bought this last Friday. I'm looking forward to it arriving in Japan.
    I have a question.
    Why is the rear suspension equipped with a spacer on the damper instead of the airbag?
    If the purpose is to improve ride comfort, shouldn't spacers be attached to the airbag? That's what I thought.

      Thank you for your excellent question! You're spot on in wanting to understand more about how our system works, especially regarding the airbag adjustments.
      The reason we focus on adjusting shock, rather than the airbag, is because it's the shock that primarily controls the dampening. By setting the shock back to its normal ride position, we ensure the ride isn't too stiff, making for a smoother driving experience.
      As for the airbag, keeping it slightly more inflated in the rear does wonders, especially for overland builds that tend to carry extra weight.
      I hope this clarifies things.

    Can you use these with a subframe lift. I have a 2 inch and it would be good to get another inch if possible

    So are these to be used with lift rods or in place of lift rods?

      @@Lucky8 oh I guess I misunderstood… I thought you use the lift rods for the added height and you use these so that the air bladder isn’t fully extended at the same time.

      @@frf006 yeah, maybe it's in place of the lift rods. It gives the height mechanically instead of through more air.
