For going off road it seems you have answered pretty well so far.
However, I use my LLAMS to get into garage spaces by dropping as low as possible. I could measure the change from "normal" ride height to lowest at both front and rear for comparison but I'm curious if you already know: will the spacers limit how far I can drop the vehicle using these tools. There is still some sway if I yank hard on the rack so I would think that means it's still not quite ON the bump stops. I suppose I could find out by using the IIDtool to do a system purge which would be like loosing all the air and compare that height.
Basically, I wouldn't want to loose too much of my lowest height or damage the struts by compressing them more than it can at the moment.
cool product.
Thanks
Excellent question! with the larger tires and the Baja Rack, I need to air down to Access mode to get into the garage and don't have much to spare to get it thru the garage. therefore if the spacers don't retain the same overall height when dropped to Access, then this would make the decision to buy much harder.

exactly. as it is, the highest point on my lr3 are the two pivot bolt heads on the rear mounted hannibal awning which is mounted to the hannibal rack on top of yakima cross bars into the factory tracks. this will clear at exactly 80.75" which is fine for most normal home garage doors. it may go a small amount lower if i made the drops and then rolled forward and back 50' to allow the wheels to splay out as much as possible due to camber.
obviously if i used these spacers id want 33" tires but realistically, they would start to run into the sliders at the front wheels for sure and into the rear factory mud flap for sure because those are only about 1/2" away as it is with my 275/65x18. ironically the bfg at k02 is slightly smaller diameter than the michelin ms2 LT.

Is this something that will work with the factory 18" in 33 x 12.5" using the terra firma spacers? Also, I have the tactical rover sliders, would that interfere with the locations needing to be trimmed in the rear of the front fender well? Is an aftermarket bumper required?
This is a truly awesome setup!

33x12.5" ?! Dude. that's fat! You should know from reading that 11" wide and 31-32 is the zone before serious issues start. In fact, 32 requires frame alterations at rear of front wheel and fender liner/body alterations inside both rear fenders.
There's no way 33x12 will work without trimming something or rubbing like crazy. He did say they "trimmed the fender near the front doors"
I would expect 33" to also rub at the rear tire front and rear due to how close the slider and rer mud flap mount would be.
This is all terribly cool but mods will be required. You first

Being new to this whole LR3 thing, I've gotta say that its pretty damn neat to see you guys so amped about a new product. And the genuine desire to learn all of the pros/cons. I guess I'm kind of like the big girl at prom, just happy to be here... hahaha

I might have missed somthing but this is what I saw from lucky8 and it looked like Nitto Mud grapplers in the pics.
Am I wrong, the pics were on my phone so not the greatest level of scrutiny was given. I just inferred, possibly incorrectly, that they were running that size. They could have meant, wish it would run that size.

Yes, but they have made a bunch of modifications to allow larger tires.

Gotcha. It sounded like a good bit of trimming needed.

Just removing the current line from the air shock and then connect the extension on the end and then reattach
I would recommend this but in the interest of science I have just pulled the line and let the air out also for people that don't have an IID tool.
The fittings are rated for 290psi and are far above the normal working pressures of the air system
yes
