 Neil. I'll be glad when its finally available so that people can get them if its the function, cost and fitment solution for them.

My concern with these would be the increased strain on the CV joints  I'm not as good as I once was........but I'm as good once as I ever was.

It all depends on how you drive the Vehicle.
Heavy right foot & full lock can always stress CV's
Front is the weak link, especially if the rear has an eDiff with stronger CV's! 2005 TDV6 HSE Silver, LLAMS Height Controller, Tinted Glass, Onroad - 09 19's GG AT's, Offroad - 09 18's Cooper Zion LTZ, Traxside Dual Battery kit, Rasta Protection Plate, Alpine Roof, BAS Remap, ARB Air Compressor, eDiff  Custom Drawer and storage unit - http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/albums/use...r_unit.pdf HiRes copy -http://www.box.com/s/jem0ilac3cner2mexq64 UHF CB, Rock Sliders and Compressor protection plate.

mwestcrew wrote:Yep those tyres look very interesting.......if you follow the lucky 8 link they have lift kits for D3 that have adjustable rods for the height sensors and a set of spacers that go on top of the airspring so that it isn't stressed by being in raised mode all the time. This lift kit will let you fit 32inch tyres with no clearnance problems.
Wil those spacers work on the LR4 or are the airbags different than the ones they used on the LR3? Also, since you brought up the point of being able to put bigger tires, do you know how to re-calibrate the speedometer to get the correct speed/trip distance again? Thanks for the help.

I suspect the main reason for fitting lift blocks is to reduce topping-out of the shocks when in off-road mode with raised height obtained by whatever means of manipulating sensor values. However the risk of pulling the right front CV joint apart when on full lock and with lots of droop is increased as the suspension can drop further thus trying to stretch the driveshaft even more.
I can't see that driving at speed at off-road height is going to stress the airspring any more than at a slower speed, if indeed it does. I will put-up with possible shortened CV joint life to be able to travel our outback roads at raised height to reduce the liklihood of exhaust system damage, as well as increasing bump-stop clearance for comfort and vehicle longevity reasons. The advantage of any driver-selected raised height system is that normal height can be used when conditions are suitable.
