I have the same rods and they work perfect with mine. I can take a look at them tomorrow and see what the measurements are. Also if you plan to keep them in all the time, I would suggest you get an alignment.

mx468: When we tried to set up, the front rods can't made shorter, what you can see in the picture. And these just about 0.5-0.6mm shorter than the originals. And the Car doesn't rise on the front. But the rear side is risis fast. BUT if I switch off-road mode, both of sides rises fast to the offrroad height.
What do you mean in "alignment?" I will thank you if you see yours how its works. Can You make pictures?
I bought these rods because you told your car is okay with these, I don't understand why doesn't rise the front side...


We will try tomorrow cut some mm off from the screws to make it shorter, maybe it will works.


Thanks a lot!! TOM R, ArmyRover, mx468
I hope it will works.

I wrote some email for them, but they don't answer..... I can't call them because I am from Europe and my english not so good.

But I don't understand, mx468 have the same rods and those are working perfectly on his car... I have same car, same rods, but the front of the car, doesn't rises... Don't have leaking and other problems.... But our front rods looks like longer than the others on the pictures..
In normal situation all of the 4 rods have to be shorter about -10mm than the originals, and the car will rises 2" higher. BUT We can make the front rods 10mm shorter than the originals because we can't screw them, haven't got place....

That sounds spot on Army.

I would put the stock rods back on the truck and see what is what. If the sensor can not read the rod position you will have the issues you are currently seeing.

Okay, we'll try it today, but what if the stock rods will work, than where should I search the problem?

When we start to change the rods have I switch the car Off-Road Height? Or doesn't matter how car is staying? And the Electronic Table F26 switch? Have I pull it off?

The problem is: the stock rods on the front make the same height, so I'll don't see the difference, or problem. Just the rear side will go down to normal.
But, when I switch off-road the front suspensions are rise! Just the Normal mode not okay in front side! It is the same like stock rods...
