You would have to make a 2" plate below the air spring and then extend the height sensor arm to fool the ecu .

I believe those are 50mm extended length air bags for 2" lifted vehicles, so wouldn't need the lift plate? However, I've not used them so can't comment on how good / bad they are, but you are 100% on having to hoodwink the ECU.

Feck it sounds easier to just put in springs

Springs is the easy not so legal way to do it.

I would look into the 2" extras a bit more, maybe its just a calibration issue or longer arms on the HT sensors.

Why do you only want the back lifted? Sounds like a weird thing to do.

The 2" extended airbags come with the plates for the ride height sensors - that's what the brackets with the 3 holes in are in the photo above . They're simple to fit.

Ok. Can see that now, but why just the back?

I didnt say it was a bad idea.
But maybe other issues will come up if +2" is run all the time.

+2" airbags to compliment +2" coils on the front (TD5 only had rear air suspension)

I don’t I was going to put 2”+ springs on the front and try and keep air at the back

Then that prolonged air bag kit is OK, ive seen good reviews for it and i dont see any problems... though if you lift it in order to fit huge tyres just like that without proper tuning your problems will start from there

Just want to fit 265/75/16 tyres on her so thinking 2” lift will help

those are almost 10% bigger than std dimension so at least fit an EGT gauge too if you dont have proper tuning for such tyres, especially if it's auto then you'll see what i mean, read the posts linked here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/speedo-out-of-synch.375403/#post-5269337
