| Motorway Cruising Lowered Suspension |
|
Hi all,
Probably a stupid question but can you cruise on the motorway with the suspension lowered?
Thanks. Java Black Metropolis MY06

You can cruise at the lowered high-speed height (-20mm) at any speed with a Llams kit fitted. Home of LLAMS, for LRs and Jeep GCs

This feature lowers the suspension ride height
by 20mm, if the vehicle exceeds 160 km/h
(100 mph) for longer than five seconds. This
action is automatic and cannot be over-ridden.
Ride height will return to normal when vehicle
speed remains below 130 km/h (80 mph) for 30
seconds

Going down Shap, with a tail wind, during a police strike, having won the lottery and bought an oilfield.  A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill.

I rode Jon O Groats - Lands End for charity last Sept, I think I hit 160 kph going down Shap  and I think I was shorter by 20mm afterwards. Knowledge & Reason - the arch enemy of faith

I tried once in Germany, but for a short time, did not feel any adverse effect, but like a said it was short burst.
You still have 10mm to go before access height, not much, but probably ok if the road is smooth and straight, if road rough and lots of bends you probably won't be running that fast.
Anyway, limits around here are 120 Km/h, so not really a problem.
If you plan on running for long above 160Km/h, it probably better to set the suspension to normal height
