mikejer Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hello, I,m considering buying an Alphard and wanted to explore if it's possible to increase the ground clearance at all by larger tyres or suspension lift and if anyone has any knowledge or experience for this? The reason is to be able to access rougher trails for fishing and camping but not serious off road. I understand the clearance is about 150mm currently and would be looking to get this to about 200mm if possible. Any comments or ideas most welcome, thanks in advance!!

MonsterS Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 There was someone who did a suspension lift. But you need to notify the insurance company as it's not at the standard height. I shall dig around and get back to you on the suspension type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejer Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 MonsterS - thanks very much I really appreciate it. I’ve seen things like suspension bushes etc but I have no experience of it and wouldn't want to do anything to damage the vehicle or make it unsafe. cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazbro Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I, too, am very interested in increasing the ride height, to easily get onto my steeply sloping driveway. Any news, MonsterS? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphard Club Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 if you modify height then consider have airbag kits installed. it will firm up the ride https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=suspension+airbag+kit&_sacat=0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
