TV height

A friend bought a TV that can be lowered or raised. All else being equal (good WDH, right payload, etc.), which one is better?
  • So are we talking like full Kelderman air ride here, or just one of Ram's air suspension variants or a normal pickup with airbags in back?
    If anything but the first option, it won't make a perceptible difference, other than air ride or air assist offer a couple neat ancillary features like
  • Note that higher distance from the body pan to pavement will allow more air to go underneath, which will create more air turbulence, which increases drag

    Why track racers try to get next to no air passing underneath
  • Lower has less wind resistance. That's what you want for driving down the highway.
  • What kind of TV? Samsung, LG, how does it lower or raise?
    Or do you mean a truck or SUV with air suspension?
  • I agree with Marty. What brand of trailer has that feature?

    OOPs I was thinking trailer, but now I realize it's the TV.
  • On road, probably lower. Off road higher.
    Reality, take your pick, plus or minus both ways.
