I would be interested in being able to buy just a pair since the rear suspension of my 2025 R1S often sits about 1/2" low compared to the front. An interesting thing I've noticed is at low ride height the front and rear are level, but in standard and then high the front to rear difference in height increases. I would prefer the rear to sit a bit higher than the front because currently the front is great through dips and bumps but the rear often is harsh like it's bottoming out, but improves when in the high setting.

Some of my problem might also be the rear shocks. Although they were replaced last fall under warranty one is leaking again which is frustrating because I'm 250 miles from the Denver service center.

Can you send me a PM about them?
I tried to PM you but it wouldn’t let me.
I have them on the front of my R1T only. So I have the half a set for sale. $150 shipped. LMK if you’re interested

One “free” alternative is to modify the linkage by removing the back locatating Nub with a hack saw. Then you are able to rotate the linkage about the securing torx screw. This in turn lowers or raises the vehicle.
You could rotate it back into place when going to a service center and maybe not be caught by Rivian.

Every time this thread pops up, I momentarily get excited that @MountainPassPerformance is launching a new product.

Is the Rivian OEM suspension such a perfect setup/bulletproof components that there's no room for improvement? Please, @MountainPassPerformance, you're our only hope.

Not exactly perfect or bulletproof, but air suspension isn't our forte 😅
Looking forward to developing more on the R2 very soon!

There is a far better solution, but you lose the air suspension. A full coil over conversion is in the works by a few suspension companies in CA at the moment. As the R1's age, newer more flexible owners will prefer a high quality coil over.
