i am thinking of air suspension so i can put in garage.can anyone tell me what the height difference is on rrc airbags.i have a 2" lift but am thinking of going back to normal height which means i will need to drop 4"from standard height to fit garage .i am not wanting a fancy all singing and dancing system all i want is normal height and drop for garage so im thinking electric pump air resevoir two accurate flow regs one front one back then a valve to let the air out to isolate from the feed and let down.so after all the long winded waffle will rrc airbags give me that range?
 
Maybe go a simpler route and use 4 valves that you manually fill from a compressor? Bit like the kits you can get for p38s etc for emergency inflation. And then carry a 12v inflator just in case you get caught away from home needing some air.
Sorry can't help with heights but as you say RRC bags should be a relatively easy fit
 
Im sure the bags would do the job but I think you need to see how they compare physically to the std coil springs.
You also need to bare in mind air bags provide practically no damping effort at all so you will need stiffer/stronger dampers.
Then theres the insurance company ball ache.
I reckon it may seem simple but will in fact be a real mission
 
Standard springs to start with. I have a mate who gets his 110 into his garage for servicing now and then just by letting his tires down some. Depends how often yours needs to go in of course.
 
If I drop that low I will have to run very stiff and this is part of adjusting it, it is on a 2" lift with hd springs and the only time it rides nice is with the back full of slabs and even at that I would still need another 30 mm so the only option is air its just working out if the airbags drop low enough and I should ring and check with the insurance but they seem quite easy going I'm with Lancaster on a highway policy so I will have to see
 
Looks good but with my affliction deep pockets and short arms I am trying to do this without a second mortgage

Yeah, me too ;) - but I reckon they might tell you how low their system goes ...... which might tell you how low you could go :confused: .....:rolleyes:
 
Buy a Freelander 1 or 2 instead. They both fit int garage and their roofs dun't leak. ;)
 
not to diss freelanders i quite like them but if i wanted that kind of vehicle id have a range rover sport that would fit as a neighbour has one and he just sets it down and in he goes but with 4 spaniels that love mud its great and i like a vehicle you have to drive
