I've heard of these, and of people lifting for aesthetics, but there's the issue of the props running at different angles, and at speed.
Probably worth researching to make sure you're not wearing anything unnecessarily.

These cars have CV joints, no U-joints.
There's a risk of wearing out the suspension bushes quicker though as they are set in place with the car at regular ride height.

With a GAP IID tool you can raise the standard ride height setting by about 20mm 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

CV's: true, sorry, that's years of having props...
CV's have working limits also. Running them at their limit at road speeds shortens lifespan. I imagine 20mm won't make a huge difference. L405 2014 FFRR Autobiography

This owner fitted 2” lifting rods and, possibly coincidentally, one of the rear airbags has exploded.

Bilstein rear air-springs will explode if off-road height is tested as they are too short, not long enough for the TDV8's shocks. L405 D350 SE Carpathian Grey D5 19" rims

Even though the L322 is a magnificent beast, I'm going to spend more time getting my 2 door Classic ready in the coming months ! Back to the old and simple which is also extremely easy to work on ! Thumbs Up
