Hi all
I'm still in the middle of it, but developing a quadra lift over ride kit, so that you can have extra pre set heights.
This is as low as I have got it so far, 25ish mm from tyre to guard. Will soon hopefully have guard tuck tyre soon, just a little more refining to do.
Will do, have hit a bit of a snag. I can get the front to goto approx 25mm gap but rear wont move. I think it might have something to do with the air tank / reservoir being full.
Has anyone got any schematics on the air system or any detailed information?
Do I understand correctly that you have figured out a way to lower the air suspension lower than normal. Does it stay there while you are driving or only in park mode?
If it is while driving, is your kit a mod to the suspension or some sort of programming of the computer?
The modification will allow you to lower the vehicle passed park mode. I am still finalising the heights as the lowest I can get at the moment is 25mm in front and 70mm on rear from tyre to guard. I want to even this out more if I can.
Once finalised ill have it setup so that you can drive at the height also (at your own risk), it will be a very firm ride.
It is good to hear that you are not far from a solution that you can share with the rest of the forum, look forward to hearing about or seeing it.
Interested in your comments that at the lower ride height the ride quality will be very firm, is there no way to just lower the body and keep the same ride feel as it is at the standard height?
I know that the lower ride height is intended for street use, but it would be good to still have some comfort at the lower height and I would imagine you need to ensure that the body does not touch or bottom out some how.
Maybe someone has some ideas.
Looking forward to you next posts........Regards, JosephR
Ben, I'm not interested in the slammed look, but I am interested in being able to select at least one position lower than Normal driving height. Without seeing a vehicle this way, I guess I'd like it lower c. 1/2" in front and 3/4 to 1" in the rear, at the flip of the proverbial switch.
That I already have setup. Ill take a picture and load it up tomorrow.
I have 3 settings so far-
Extreme low (still developing)
Super sport (approx 20mm lower than sport mode)
Or1+ (basically or1 but can drive at any speed)
That's fantastic Ben!
My '14 limited with QL is due end Oct, do you think your kit will be available by then?
Will it be easily installed by owner or will it take an electrician/jeep mechanic?
Does it work through existing QL buttons and digital readouts?
Cheers
I would love to keep my wk2 in OR1 height at any speed
If I just wanted this option plus the stock ability to go into OR2, do you think you can make a kit available?
What size tyres do you have. I have now got falken wildpeak a/t 275/55/20 and on the extra extra low mode. The guard just covers the tyre. The switch has 3 positions so you will just not use that mode.
Here's a pic of mine in extra extra low
Like the look of the extra, extra low height, how much lower is it from normal ride height if that has 8.1 inches of ground clearance.
Also, at this ride height, do you have much suspension travel or has it been limited in some way. I would imagine to get it to this helight you would have had to make some mechanical changes and not just let the air out of the Air Jacks as this would give a very sloppy ride and possibly cause some damage to the Air Jacks.
Interested to hear your comments and looking forward to seeing the price of your kit and what it involves.
Same size tires nitto terra grapplers 275/55/20
When I look at the inside of the front wheel well there is like a quarter of an inch between some metal knuckle? Bolt? Looking like thing attached to suspension.. And the top/side of the inside of the tire..
I assumed the lower it gets the closer that knuckle gets to the tire so I didn't even want to attempt park mode thinking it would really mess up my tires...
Anyways I could be wrong and maybe the metal knuckle bolt doesn't get closer or further from the tire the lower or higher the vehicle gets..
Regardless, I live in the panhandle of tx and EVERYONE has a lifted SUV or truck..
Most I am at equal seat height? Shoulder height? with when in OR2, but OR1 will suffice but oh boy am I tired of being surrounded by cars taller than mine )
When can you have a unit for me? It doesn't have to look pretty some wiring diagram and instructions would probably be all I need
It is still in development. Should have final parameters that I'm happy with in the next 2 weeks. I can have or2 setup so that you can drive on it, I could even test and see how much higher it will go before you get suspension fault then bring it back a little. I wouldn't recommend driving on anything higher than or2 though.
I might setup or2 also as I like driving at that height with the tyres I have now.
Next project is making some rock sliders
Hi Simmo32, Excellent work with the heights you are testing. I like the idea of the 2 levels below sport and I think OR2 as the 3rd setting would be fantastic as full lift would be great to have for offroad.
Look foward to hearing the latest progress.

I agree, especially if you can fix the butt-high attitude. Or perhaps the 3 settings could be OR2 on top, Aero (but NOT butt-high) for the middle, and around a 1/2" lower on the bottom.
hmm, for me ideal would be, aero .5" lower all around then aero is mow*, OR1 same as OR2 and OR2 .75-1" higher then it is now... in my dreams i guess lol
OR1 at 1" higher would put it a little lower then OR2 is stock?? or did I miss something
1" higher then the normal OR1 puts it at 2.3" +NRH, OR2 stock is 2.6" +NRH so its still not as harsh as OR2, and the ride could be made better with the introduction of a larger QL shock... which is bascially what I would love, is a shock that keeps stock ride heights, and go lower then the current Aero by another .5" and in OR2 gives us another 1" or so....
Im stretching a bit but ya, I know I wouldn't be the only one who bought that upgrade lol
