You didn’t happen to notice the wheel/tire size, did you? I bet it had very low profile tires on it.

Interesting. I had no idea it had a ride control. Knowing her impatience with reading any kind of instructions, neither does she.

Shouldn’t the air suspension take care of that issue?? I figured by now all LR had air ride suspensions, but I could be very wrong on that…
