Default Quick suspension question

Is it normal that my Lr3 goes to the bump stops after about 4 days of no use? Thanks.

No that is not normal. It will settle a little bit not even close to the bump stops. Did it drop on all 4 corners?

pull fuses if it doesnt drop its the computers, if it does drop its mechanical. either leaky strut or valve blocks...

But you knew that already

Yup all 4 corners. Only does this if it's sitting for more than 4 days.

Likely both valve blocks are leaking. As said above. Doubt it is struts if all four corners drop.

Is it dropping all four with the fuses pulled? If it's only been left sitting normally the self-leveling will 'level' three good corners to match a leaking one, so without pulling the fuses you can't be sure what's actually leaking.

(but yeah, my bet is on valve blocks anyway)

4 days is a pretty slow leak. Not something you'll likely find with the soapy water trick. I generally leave mine sit during the week while I'm working and it usually drops some, but not all the way to the bumpstops.
