Hello everyone!

I just bought a 2014 explorer (PIU). Does anyone know of an adjustable height air suspension that would work on one of these vehicles? I work outdoors and somewhat frequently need to pass through DEEP muddy ruts and need about twice the suspension height that the explorer currently has (can be a bit less, but basically I need a lot more height.)

I ready a post where someone was saying that they don’t make lift kits for the explorer because of the CV axles getting damaged if it’s lifted and rides at speed yadda yadda.

I literally just need extra height for 30-60 feet at slow speeds, else I scrape the eve living hell out of the bottom and I’m afraid I’ll take an AC line out or worse.

One idea I had is to get lowering air suspension, but then add a spacer so that the car basically would be normal height in its “lowered” setting and then I can raise it to the sky for going over tall obstacles like dry mud ruts.

Has it been done? Is it harder than I’m thinking it will be to achieve?

I basically want something like the adjustable air suspension on a cayenne, sans buying an actual Porsche

Any suggestions?
 






Welcome to the Forum. :wave:
As far as I know, no one here has added an adjustable air suspension. Lift kits are available and several members have gone that route.
There are more threads on lift kits you can find using the 'Search' feature in the upper right.
