I’m not sure how clear the rules are. My thoughts have always been that if you get an inspector on a bad day you would probably get defected. But I’m not sure .,,.

Pretty sure they're counted as a spring spacer, but good question, worth checking

This is standard suspension though, this is not a Quadra-Lift, I have spoken to these guys yesterday, I was just told "we don't do lifts for air suspension".

Strange i thought only air suspension had the little rods.
He holds one in his hand in the video and talks about them.
My mistake, sorry

No, he does talk about changing the links out, but this simply tricks the computer into staying in OR1, I've done that with AlphaOBD, but it causes other issues and doesn't drive the nicest, I'm wanting to put a 2 inch spacer kit in, but I'm concerned that the computer will not realise its lifted and try to go into OR2 when placed in rock mode, trying to over inflate and causing all sorts of havoc..

The bonus with a 2" spacer kit will also be extra down travel when offroad.. just need to get around the computer issue..

Ive done the spacers in mine as well as made my own adjustable rods. If you just put spacers in the car will adjust itself to standard height. You also have not much up travel left and its terrible and harsh. I used 40mm spacers, were supposed to be 50mm 🙄. Then adjusted rods so that the front was 40mm higher. I have factory supension travel, and feel. Its great. I did adjust the back up a little too, with shock spacers and adjustable rods. Will be getting a friend to make up 25 mmm spacers for rear airbags too. Dunno why somene mentioned spacers install being a pain. Its pretty straightforward even just doing it in the driveway. Gimme a hoist and could probably do both sides in around an hour.
