Yes it is that simple, plenty of info on this site aboiut them. Issue is about driving long distances with the ride height too high, what damage would it do to the joints?

this is where it all started IIRC

And it looks like Neil Pettesen bought a set. The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Nothing dramatical. But it increases wear and tear. I have changed quite a few joints by now, after 72.000 km. But nothing unique about that.
To maintain stability you should put on spacers as well. +5 cm gives original sideways stability even at off road height in 100 km/t. -05 TDV6 HSE dc5r

Just my opinion, but it looks wrong to me. The D3 just looks all out of proportion. Needs more rubber to fill all that space.
I understand why you want to do it. Its a shame it doesn't look "right". The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Adusting too high will result in less articulation and defeat the purpose. About 10mm longer is about right IMHO.
If permanently installed you should get an alignment done though. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

If permanently installed, along with oversize tyres, you had better hope you don't get a suspension fault! The car will drop to the bump-stops and getting home will be a _very_ torturous and tyre shredding experience - not that I'd know

Didn't try a cold boot then Gordon? “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
