Where do I find front strut / rear shock extenders for L322? I can do a electronic lift using my GAP dial tool, but I want to be able to drive in the event of a suspension failure w/larger tires. I plan on running 295/55/20 or 305/55/20 on Sport rims.

They call them bump stop extensions, but they are exactly as I described them. Obviously the height sensors would just adjust the height back to standard (despite the 2" extension) if different length rods were not used. People a lot smarter than yourself designed the strut spacers to deal with the fact that Land Rover has a undefendable "fail to bump stops" tendency rather then just throwing a fault and keeping the suspension inflated. How do I know? Because I've experienced it in three different land rovers, once at 10 below zero in the middle of nowhere towing an enclosed snowmobile trailer. In my experience I would rather screw with the suspension than be stranded in the middle of nowhere by a manufacturers ridiculously poor decision making.

Fair enough, but try towing a trailer 50 miles off of a mountain on the bump stops (stock tire size) - all because of a bad sensor. I just wish it would fail and no longer try and inflate. I can't defend deflating the entire system. I assume you had a P38, the L322 doesn't have conventional bump stops that can be extended. They are in the strut, so the spacers effectively raise the bump stops. Maybe I will have to give up on running larger tires.
