How low? How do they know a pump up won't work if they haven't tried? There's a good chance it will gain you some height but at the expense of ride comfort.

You could buy your own pump, some fluid and have a go. Check out the bay of e or go straight to the liquid levers web site. Alternatively send me the price of a plane ticket and a hotel for the weekend and I'll fly out and do it for you

If a pump-up doesn't work you will need to replace all the units or have them removed and re-gassed (buy spares and re-gas those £400, do the swap £1000 (ouch) and then sell the originals for spares)..

I believe the canisters are NLA. So many are swapping to a spring/shocker kit.

..and be careful that the suspension is not over pumped otherwise your F will look like a 4x4 as mine did in the late 90s!
