Air suspension PSI

Hi guys

My range l322 has been converted to manual air suspension from the previous owner. Using pneumatic hoses / schrader valves. Can use a tyre pump to stick air in, or press it to release air.

What’s the max PSI I can put in the rear air bags? There’s 80psi currently (still seems low) but I don’t want to put to much in.

Thanks in advance.

Put enough in so its at the correct height.
Obviously if the load in the boot goes up you will need more.
This is from a 2007-2010 manual, dont see it being different for the actual springs but I know the system pressure's changed somewhere in their life.

5 - 8 bar for the rear. The thing is, will this still apply now it’s a schrader valve lol?

The figures are min/max, the bag doesn't care what's on the end of the pipe
Set it at the correct height.

If course it will still apply, it's the pressure needed to maintain the cars height. The valves don't change anything other than it's been bodged errr modified

Hang on, you said you'd converted it? https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/pneumatic-fittings.387112/

Ermmm…. Rear only the guy did half a job

How can you convert half!? Surely that would cause faults!?



How much tat do you have in the boot? That will impact the pressure required.

The previous owner literally did the front, and the back was incorrect and flat as a pancake. It looks horrendous so I didn’t drive t obviously. So had to sort the rear out

Sounds to me like the front needed sorting out

The back has the wrong fixing and was at like 11psi so you can imagine how low it was lol

Ignore the pressure and set it to the correct ride height.
