Could anyone please tell me the standard ride height for a 99 4.6.

quavey · Feb 6, 2015

Just to check is the car still on air suspension or is it on coil springs?

Ride height is adjustable, however i found these heights on the internet, not sure how correct they are!

Factory Height Settings

High..........830mm...+/- 7mm

Standard....790mm...+/- 7mm

Low...........770mm...+/- 7mm

Access........730mm..+/- 7mm

Heights from ground to wheel
arch through wheel centre.

Note:……….The above are for standard diameter wheels.

At top of the Range Rover section on here you'll find a 'how to' section.
At the bottom of the 'airbag replacement' write-up you'll find the measurements
Measure from the centre of the wheels to the wheelarch.

How often have you posted that up over the years Saintie?

He's like some sort of ride-heights gunslinger. Whenever that question comes up I start counting to see how long before it appears!

Would anybody know the height of the boot floor when the suspension is on its lowest setting
and is it possible to modify the suspension to lower it further ?.

No idea, measure it!!

As for lowering it further, no.... Access height is only about an inch above the bump stops as it is!

Thanks for the reply, wish I could measure it I don't know anyone with a P38 ,that,s why I was hoping someone on here would know.

Bot of a strange thing to sk if you haven't got one...

boycie · Feb 8, 2015

But not so strange if you are thinking of buying one in the near future .

690mm ground to top of bottom tailgate when open in access hight.

boycie · Feb 8, 2015

Thank you Brianp38dse exactly what I need to know. I do have a reason for asking not just a wind up.

brianp38dse · Feb 8, 2015

That's ok, It is a bit high if your trying to lift something heavy in the back.

boycie · Feb 8, 2015

Two rather large heavy dogs .Need to convince the wife ,she is worried that they may get hurt trying to get in and out.

brianp38dse · Feb 8, 2015

wont they jump up in with a bit of help.

pwood999 · Feb 8, 2015

Change the Access Height settings so the front is up & rear down. Then the tailgate will be nearer the floor !! :hysterically_laughi

. . . . and call it "dog mode"

boycie · Feb 8, 2015

Well yes and no ,they weigh about 65kilos apiece they can jump up and we have a ramp but the wife is so worried if they slip and hurt their self and I know she would be in bits if any thing happened to them .I had a Disco up until about 6 months ago that I modified for off roading and green lanning and I miss messing about with a Landrover so I thought get a P 38
raise the suspension for a bit of off roading get it to kneel down get the dogs in ,best of both worlds.Then change her Volvo V70 for a smaller car just for her, it makes sense to me .

boycie · Feb 8, 2015

That sounds even better pwood999 she is thinking about it. BUT been told I have to decorate the house before I can get another Landrover because I will be messing about with it all the time AND I have just been told if I get one I am to old to be lifting gearbox's axles and the like in and out.
