I've got a broad accent been a cowyed or howfener but starting with 'Reyt' then is our equivalent of 'Oreet' Cant wait to see it on the move with some big tyres on.

can't wait to see this in action... as I want to put 33in tyres on mine

[@nasa1985]

Love the videos... also just some friendly advice. By all means use the vehicles own air suspension to raise the vehicle up, but don’t go putting your head in the wheel arch without a jack stand or at least the lift holding the vehicle up as well. If the pressure in the air suspension were to suddenly drop or blow out... you would be without a head! Stay safe man.

Good evening all! A long shot here and i apologies for adding a boring comment to an epic video! I recently purchased a 2004 Touareg 2.5TDI. After 1 week of ownership I added 700 miles to the clock. The ride is perfect and i'm in love with the car. I faced some problems a couple of days ago however and i wanted to run them by you to see if anyone could help advise before i head to a garage. I had a few start up issues which almost sounded like a flat battery. However after a couple of tries it fired up with no issues. The next problem i noticed was flickering headlights and after that a warning light on the dash reading 'STOP fault running gear.' The car is sitting in its 'normal' position and is level on the front and rear. Because of this i don't think its a leak as the car isn't 'sagging' over night at all. With this message on the dash i am unable to access the dashboard menu. I am also unable to use the air suspension nor the built in air compressor for the tires.. If anyone has any potential answers or solutions please advise. Id appreciate your help big time!

[@DarksideDevelopments]

I'd check it's not on the bump stops, they are not that low when they are.

[@TimeIILight]

@@DarksideDevelopments thanks for the reply. It’s appreciated 😙 I’ve been doing non stop research with no clear answers. I’ll be taking a trip to a mechanic next week so see if I can get to the bottom of it. 😩

Hi!!! Great job from Spain!!! I planing to do the same to a V6 with air suspension and two lockers also, but I have a question, didn't give you a problem to increase the angle of the drive axle between the gearbox and differentials?

[@snowfree52]

- How high do you want it ? - Yes !

[@Paul_VanGo]

What about the end of the steering arm? Doesn't that need to sit up 1" higher too? Or maybe bumpsteer isn't an issue on these.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

The whole subframe is down so just the UJ moved down, bump steer is fine and you can just get the camber in check

[@Paul_VanGo]

@@DarksideDevelopments But you changed the angle of the lower control arm, but left the steering arm as is... Well, might not be an issue at all. But it might be interesting to see, when you are at the alignment shop, how much the tracking changed through the travel, if at all.

[@olivermonter5935]

Was passiert denn mit dem. Mittellager der kardanwelle und passt der auspuff noch am heck rahmen vorbei? Sowieso die ganze auspuff Anlage passt das noch?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Yes the Exhaust fits fine, sometimes you might need to put spacers under the mounts. The Prop Shaft (Carden Shaft) is fine too but you can space the centre support beam down if you feel better like that.

[@faxxzc]

Any info on the V12?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Nothing yet!

[@max98059]

So do you think 🤔 that with a lift can you sneak 35" tall tires. Also nice work on the bracket. I just got a 2005 Volkswagen Touareg 4.2 that has air ride and a rear diff locker. I am planning a lift and turn it into a 4wheel drive here in the states.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

35s would need a lot more chopping at the rear!

[@t-rexlanding7321]

I'm curious if you disconnected your sway bars on your lift? As I had mentioned I've been watching your build for my 2004 v8 treg for inspiration, however, at the moment my rigs rear diff had locked up so I'm getting that fixed. Also did you drop your sub frame for the lift? I'd love to see you create a bullbar that would connect to your sub frame with tow hooks welded on

[@DarksideDevelopments]

All the subframes are dropped so you leave the ARBs, I'm making a disconnect kit though, keep an eye out!

[@noahmcdaniel4920]

You guys need some black rims on this beast. Some 20’s with a wider than stock tire for the road and 18’s for off

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Wait and see!

[@mehaniker3176]

What about front drive shaft's? Will they work in such angle?

Not in extra height

[@TwoChickenNuggets]

22:22 Was that a Tinder notification 🤔

[@DarksideDevelopments]

No, lol!

[@noahmcdaniel4920]

I’ve always wanted to see someone lift the front more than the back on a touareg. Would help preserve ride quality by minimizing the lift, still give you a great approach angle and would give it a sick stance. I want 40 mm in the back and 50 mm in the front on mine. Wonder if anyone would make them for me 👀

[@DarksideDevelopments]

You can adjust the air ride to do the same!

[@faxxzc]

i don´t quite understand, by spacing the front and rear subframe, you´re not really increasing the ground clearance are you? you´re just lifting the body higher

[@grad0n]

Then you can put the taller tires on that do lift.

[@busslayer4790]

As noted, the larger tires will increase the minimum ground clearance. But additionally, the body lift will improve approach, departure and breakover angles. You drive your tire over obstacles you can't straddle. You can't do that if your bumper hits the obstacle.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

As above, it used to hit the front or rear rather than belly out, now it has bigger tyres too.
