Suspension - adjustments to standard height.

Guys,

When I've finally got to the end of clearing out all of the detritus left behind by the four previous owners, I've a list of other stuff to work my way through. One of these is possibly tweaking the suspension settings.

The original 18" alloys are still on the truck (with a Pirelli scorpion at each corner) and I'm sure I've got the standard setup for the height. Reading the manual it states that access height is 2" lower, and off-road 2" higher? Question: what is the maximum possible and recommended lift/drop, based on an 18" wheel?. It would be handy if I could trim another inch off of the access height (save my wife's joints getting in/out), and add another 1.5" to the off-roading uplift. Assume that any such adjustments would need to be inked in on the CCF using an IID or similar?

Any views as to whether my suggestion is just being silly? What have others done?

Ta much.

Access height already drops the car to the bump stops, so that's as low as it will go I'm afraid. IID can program other settings to personal preferences.

Access height doesn’t go as low as the bump stops, from what I’ve learnt you can adjust standard height up or down but access and off road will still be around 2” higher or lower but if you adjust standard too far either way if you attempt access or off road it won’t let you go past it’s maximum pre set settings, if you have a iid tool to can set your own heights but it’s not recommended to run with it plugged in

Well that's the answer then? Something for the shopping list me thinks. Might need to find someone to fit it and test installation for me as my tool box is limited to a swiss army knife and a couple of rusty screwdrivers (which were quite adequate when I owned an 89-110CSW). Possibly a few new bits also need to go on the list too?

Thanks for that. Very Happy
