| SCA-1E Range Rover ride height
Hi All Does anybody know how to adjust the ride height on a Carisma SCA-1E Range Rover? I would like to fit some larger tyres, and at the moment they are fouling on the body shell. Are there parts needed or is it just a case of adjusting the shocks? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks Ben |

you need a lift kit yo about 1700 from ruff country lol oh you mean for your RC lol maybe longer shocks maybe shock keys maybe there's enuff adjustment in the stock shock towers to move the shock down a hole |

Can’t send pics right now, but the only adjustment I can see is pre-load for the springs. I don’t need that much height increase, just enough for the wheels to clear the front fender corners. |

More spring pre-load might get you there, but lowering the upper shock mount hole is really gonna be the right path. "Shock Keys" will likely get that solved with as little fuss as possible.

That’s great, thanks. I’ll try the pre load first. Can you recommend anywhere to get shock keys from? |

I've never had a model from the brand you're describing so I don't know how much aftermarket support there is for it. If you're not able to find shock keys for that model via the internet it's probable that none exist. You may be able to fit new shock towers, and find keys for those towers. Shock towers from an Axial SCX10.3 or Element Enduro would likely have enough aftermarket support to make finding shock keys much easier. Depending on your tire size, you may have to do some body trimming anyway. Cutting away some of the lexan surrounding the wheel openings might be your only option if you're stuffing some big 4.75 OD tires under there, and you're shooting for zero rubbing. Spring preload (or firmer springs), lowering the upper shock eye placement and body trimming will likely be the winning combination. |

from what I could find there looks to be a lot of mounting points moving the shock down to one of the other mounting holes would raise the truck shock keys are generic they should work on just about anything from what it looks like it should also be pretty easy to raise the body up link to shock keys https://www.ebay.com/itm/11494368267...mis&media=COPY Last edited by ferp420; 04-18-2024 at 07:41 AM. |

Yeah I’ve had a tinker with it, and that’s exactly what I did. It turns out the kit has ‘built in’ shock keys. New tyres fitted and it is much better. Thanks for all the advice. 👍🏻
