there's no need to set the suspension at any particular height. Before you start the jack the car up, open (and leave open) a door or the rear tail. It will stop the suspension moving as a safety measure. |

I've always jacked the vehicle up to do any necessary work and once done, sit in the car, lower it to access mode (it will ask you to confirm the suspension height required anyway), and then cycle through the heights to 'Normal', 'Off Road' and then back to 'Normal' again, so the system knows its been able to achieve the requested height on all 4 wheels. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8 |

I've never tried it but......The articulation on a FFRR is a bit longer than that of an old Citroen - even if you did raise the height to max & put blocks under there and then lowered it, I'd expect the wheel to stay exactly where it is. |

Apparently it doesn't work because Citroens used hydraulics and sealed spheres and the RR uses pneumatics and Air bags.
