    Looks great Stu, how did you trick it? Same was as the old 4's and 3's?

    How do you trick it? Owners manual says no manual control of extended mode.

    I'd like to see the actual ground clearance as viewed from the front under car to see what height "super extended" mode can clear. Extra credit if you take ground clearance measurements.

    LLAMS Height Controller will be the trick.
    Additional suspension height choices. Smile

    ( my guess is he placed something under the car and tried to lower it on it, fooling the car that it thinks it's grounded)

    The D5 is advertised to have 28cm ground clearance. Is that at off-road height or super-extended height?

    Inquiring minds want to know. Pictures are a bonus.

    Fitting my side steps shortly, what is the safest way to trick the car into extended mode?

    Details please!! Thumbs Up

    Lift it to off-road height.

    Place jack or log under jacking point.

    Lower it - car will 'bottom-out' and rise to Extended mode.

    Put your foot on the brake and hold the 'up' button for 10 secs. Car will raise to Super-Extended.

    *DO NOT TURN STEERING TO FULL LOCK WHILE RAISED*

    Thanks, presumably you lower it and it returns to normal?
