Default Lift with SLS

Is it possible to lift our trucks and keep the air suspension or does the rear have to be converted to spring before hand.

Yes it can be done, I think Rovertym sells the lift spacers and sensor adjusters. You can then just buy front springs and the shocks. I am sure a few guys on here will tell you to covert to springs so you do not have to do it later, but for me I love the air suspension on mine and will always keep it. I tow my boa a lot with my Rover so it is nice to have it level all the time.

Yes you can do it. No need for spacers on the 2" OME lift. Just get a 1.5" spacer section from two layers of steel 1" on center water piple holder strapping. Put it on your SLS hieght sensor. Basically you are tricking the sensor to make it think the car is (higher, if I am correct?) You need one 10mm bolt and nut. It will even out your lift. I will take a picture tommarrow in daylight. Really simple and i have had it installed now for over 2 years. Cheap and bulliet proof.

Two thoughts, the aluminum billet is set at and angle to keep the bags level and you also nee the height adjusters cause with out them, your air bags will run at too low a pressure.
