Suspension query -re camping kit

Howdy...

So my D2 had coils all round with a 40mm lift. I do alot of camping with my boys and we have a great set up oz tent style etc.... The D2 before the lift sat down at the rear when fully packed/loaded.

My question is with the air suspension and the middle height setting will the rear sag or will the suspension height adjust to its setting height i.e.when the load is added will the car adjust to normal ride height.

I hope that makes sense....

I am still quite miffed at how small the 18"wheel look on these D3s looks a bit out of proportion....

Cheers in advance

Yep, sits flat as a flat thing with a side order of very flat pancakes. Thumbs Up

Quite often have mine loaded almost to the max, and no saggy bottom. Thumbs Up

Re wheel size, depends on what you want to do with the car & tyre choice. Wish I could use standard 18" rims in my D4. Sad

Yup, self levels to the correct ride height, even fully loaded

And I think the 18" look great 8)
