I would like to start this new product release with a question:
What is the biggest fear of LR3, LR4 and Range Rover Sport owners who run larger-than-stock tires?
I can hear everyone on the web simultaneously cry out “having my air suspension fail, leaving my truck on the bump-stops”. This is a legitimate fear for anyone using air suspension. Fortunately the engineers at Land Rover built in a safety net with the bump stops. Unfortunately for those with larger tires the bump stops are only effective for tires slightly over stock size.
Running larger tires on your Rover has it’s Pros and Cons.
Pros: You achieve more ground clearance to navigate obstacles more freely and you’ve also made your Land Rover look like a Land Rover should.
Con: A random air suspension failure will leave your truck on the bump-stops. When this happens with larger tires, you're stuck. Your tires will be so compacted into the wheel wells that you will be immediately immobilized. Now you are stuck somewhere on the trail with a 7,000 pound anchor that doesn’t roll. Good luck getting your truck to budge without damage.
Here at Lucky 8 we’ve teamed with Proud Rhino to remove that Con from the list altogether by creating the bump-stop spacer kit. When the airbags let go, these spacers will be in place to keep your truck from completely sinking to the ground and leave you enough wiggle room to be able to roll out of the woods, or parking lot, or wherever your Land Rover decides to fail.
These spacers have been rigorously tested here @ Lucky 8 on our Project LR3. Some of you may have seen them on the truck at some of the events across the country we tested them at and we can truly say that this is a must-have for anybody who runs the larger tires. Not only are these essential when running the larger tires, but they also provide a more comfortable ride when running a lifted truck. The lift rods essentially trick the airbags into filling with more air. This gains height on the vehicle, but it also stiffens the bag and creates a hardened ride. With these spacers the truck will remain lifted with your rods but the bags will not have to inflate as much, leaving more room for the air spring to do it’s job and create a more comfortable experience for everyone in the truck.
