Yes they do as they have the air suspension. Apparently press the right buttons and ride height is raised by up to 2". If you go above a certain speed then height is automatically lowered for more stability. It's clever stuff but a nightmare in a desert somewhere when it all packs up!

Two inches would probably get it up to something similar to the original Disco, but still not great ground clearance as standard compared to something like a Ford Ranger. I guess the original disco has as much clearance as any 4x4 passenger car.

I meant, that you dont really want to wind your half shafts up by driving it around on dry tarmac in 4WD mode, as there's a warning in the blurb about how it "may lead to the drive shafts snapping"

Not a good idea as I'm sure you'll agree

Spoke to an RAC in Scarborough in the last lot of snow, he had attended 10 such incidents where owners 'put it in 4WD and it went bang a few miles later'. RTFM!
