Default Love our new lx, suspension question!

Hi all, new here. Bought a 2010 white. Has anyone lifted a 570 or figured out a way to "lock" it in the raised position?

As far as I know, There is no way to do that.
The old model (LX470) my friend used to unplug a wire or fuse and cover it with tape for protection.
Not sure which one.
after few months the front hydraulic suspension was damaged and he paid around 10K to fix it.

Thanks for your input, I was sort of thinking along those lines too. Glad I didn't. We're looking at some "lifting" blocks as an option right now, will post pictures if it works.

I'm sure its possible to lift it. I spoke to an armoring service and they actually remove the hydraulic suspension and install a fixed suspension beefed up to handle the extra weight. The company is International Armoring Corporation. They said that the suspension actually sits 2" taller than stock, but it does eventually settle down due to the weight.
