I am looking to buy at '99 or '00 DII.
1. Has anyone had problems wiht SLS, I know older Rovers with airbags have had pricey problems.
2. Do all D2's with jumpseats always come with SLS. It seems that most I look at seem to have these options together. Maybe they were both just popular.

The only problem I have is the bags seem to deflate when my rig is not in use (prolonged). Once I start her up she inflates to normal height. I mentioned it to the dealer and they basically said as long as the warning light didn't go on there wasn't a problem,it was a non issue. Pretty sorry excuse if you ask me. I may press the issue when I take her in for the scheduled maintenance. Just to make sure it was logged in as a complaint. Besides that she works just fine! |

Over the past two years I have had some minor problems. Once one bag went out on a trail at Moab. The rig was five days old. The second, I had a fuse blow and left the bags just slightly deflated. both were covered under warranty, but I do not think they would have been expensive to fix.

I've never had an issue with my SLS. Even being parked sometimes for up to 8 weeks the level doesn't change. Yes all NAS spec DIIs have SLS if they are seven seaters. One cool thing with the SLS is when you raise it to its upper position it has the same depart angle as the DI.

Cool, Thanks Carl. I want a 7 seater and like the idea of SLS since I pull a camper. If they do go bad, I would imagine it should be fairly easy to covert to coils.

Just thought of another question, Can you deflate the airbags or just increase the pressure? Reason I ask, is that I want to buy an adventure rack and I am concerned about getting it into my garage without modifing my garage. Deflating the bags may help.

you can deflate the bags but you have to buy the SLS key fob that allows you to raise and lower the bags. I doubt that the amount that you can deflate the bags would compansant for the hieght of a rack though. The fob is about $90 at the dealer |

Just recently I have noticed that my 99 Dll with sls is leaning slightly (appox. 1/2 inch) lower on the driver's side. Otherwise, everything is fine. No warning light, I hear it adjust we I unload the rear cargo area and both sensor arms are straight. Any suggestions? BTW, the nearest LR dealer is 300 miles away, but the vechicle is still under warranty. |

300 miles to the nearest dealer? You are a brave man. Mine is 2 blocks away, and I feel uncomfortably far away... hehehee 
If you measure the distance from the axel on both sides to the chassis is there a diffence? If so you should bring it to your dealer and have them to an adjustment on the height.
