SLS and cold weather
Last year I replaced my original air springs with some Arnott springs because they would drop all the way down when my Disco was parked outside overnight in below zero temps. It looks like the Arnott units are not much better. I took this picture this morning when it was minus 2 degrees fahrenheit.

Does the SLS recover to normal when you start the engine? Do you have ACE fitted? Have you tried parking facing the other way, facing downhill?

The was the first time it's done it this year. It was also the first below zero weather we've had. It comes up as soon as it's started and will stay up through the night as long as it's above 10 degrees or so. Could be the fittings just bleed off if the temp is really cold. We're due for a warm-up on new years day, so I'm really not worried about it. I cleaned the filter a few years ago, I might take a look at it after I get it inside and warmed up next week.

You could be very much right here. If the daytime use temperature was significantly higher than the nightime standing time the air would 'contract'. Also the compressor air during the day would be 'warm' by comparison to the standing night air.

TIP: with SLS air suspension to conserve the life and reduce the possible bag damage when jet washing under the truck raise the suspension and clean the air bags of grit and debris. Don't direct a full force jet onto the bags but use a diffused fan spray otherwise you'll 'drill' the bag and damage it.
