Defender with 1.5 inch Johnson Rod lift and 275-60-20 BFG KO2 tires
Wow. That stance is awesome. Is this at Full Off-Road Height?
Do you encounter any rubbing at full turn?
May go with a more aggressive tread. Toyo RTs or General Grabbers or BF Goodrich HD All Terrain Thoughts?

This may be a dumb question but for the 1.5"inch lift, it is 1.5"inches taller in all 3 settings (access, normal, off road)? or does it sit normally in access mode then lift higher in normal and off road, or just off road? Thanks, I'd like to pull the trigger on a set but it is just a burning question that's been on my m mind.
How do these lift rods impact "extended mode" that can be engaged if the vehicle becomes high-centered? If required can the vehicle still be raised higher when in extended mode?
Also, I'm hoping to fit LT275/70/18 on my Kimberleys with a +29 offset. (33.2" diameter tire) Will any Johnson Rod lift height avoid a rub at normal ride height?
The rods replace the original height sensor rods and adjust the sensor's position which signals the system to raise the suspension by an additional 1.5 inches.
The bags will not get overinflated and the compressor works the same by holding pressure as it would at any height.
We only go 1.5 inches because that provides the best overall ride quality based on customer feedback in both on and off road modes.
So when the car tries to raise itself to its maximum height and "can't", that doesn't cause a problem? Seems like the car would either give up and throw a code, or keep running the compressor because it thinks there's another 1.5 inches it can raise up.
