Have a question or two
With the rods fitted and you press access hight, does the hight drop to the base OEM hight. I live in an apartment and the parkade is 6’6” and with my slimline rack I have a half inch at normal ride hight. So I get it down to access hight to drive through.
At max hight have you grounded it to get the extended hight when pressing the normal hight setting? If so does that give you another 2 inches as normal or do you get an error because it was already at the max.
Lift rods just trick the vehicle to thinking it’s riding low. So to answer your first question, if you have lift rods on, them drop to access height; yes you brought it down from lifted to “normal” height. On my LR3 if I have the rods on, and I’m extended, and get payed up, i believe it will still automatically give me another inch to get off a rock.
I hope I’m accurate in my answer. What I do is keep my 2 1/2” lift rods in the glove box. Use them for weekends at play ( only takes 15 minutes to switch them out). Mostly because I’m short, and my daughter is short and we really enjoy having access height. Also I feel it handles better on pavement as engineered. Hope that helps.
