We still need someone who wants the prototype who is close to Sydney so mods can be made to the system as we go.
I have a video. Can I upload to my gallery or do i need to go through YouTube? "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both- and deserve neither"

Thanks CW
Do I just upload an MPG file like a photo? "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both- and deserve neither"

Goesn't like the MPEG I uploaded. No video just sound. 
Any ideas? "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both- and deserve neither"

Not for me: "Upload failed"
2.46 meg only WMV. "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both- and deserve neither"

This a long shot as I have no idea on how the suspension works, but from what I can see the height sensors are probably some sort of measurement based on resistance (bit like a potentiometer). Would it not be possible to wire in a second value which could be switched in to vary this value depending on whether you wanted to higher or lower the suspension. It would act like a shortened rod and you could just switch out the circuit via a dash switch. Obviously it would need to be calibrated to make sure it worked, but you could do this with a trimmer.
Of course all this is based on the level sensors being resisitive, so if they are not I am talking rubbish. Also if it were that easy I guess everybody would have done it by now.

There is a system which effectively does that. Takes the values from the sensor and alters the output to the CPU, gives a number of height options........$2500 plus fitting. 
Looking at about a grand plus fitting but can be easily DIY fitted with some car ramps or with more difficulty without.
I think I'll have to youtube the vids. "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both- and deserve neither"

The rods sense for self leveling, traction control, diff locks terrainn response and DSC. The need to work. Shortening rods just moves the range they work slightly but they still operate and control all the functions.

Video of working system.
Sorry about the poor quality, it was on a still camera but can't do much about the bloke talking though.

Still need someone to take the prototype and wreck it.
