air suspension height lock

I have the opposite problem to most of you guys, i want to lock the suspension off in the highest setting when in the desert. Lowering it's self at 35kph is a pain and going to cause damage.. (958 turbo)

How does the air come out of the air bladders?? can i add a tap on the air lines to lock suspension at full height or pull a PASM fuse to shut it down at full height (better still add a switch to turn it off when off road)
i think i can put the height link kit on the car to trick it to go higher (shorten link instead of lengthen) then when it drops to the lower height it is actually at the original full height, but i want standard heights on the road so i will be forever adjusting the links..

if you put your cayenne on high why would you ever want it to lower it's self in off-road mod..just dumb
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

I'm off to the desert for the day on friday, does anybody here know if i can pull a fuse or a relay when the suspension is up to lock it up.
maybe the only answer is to lift the car with lifting spacers.

any help is appreciated
thanks

sinktheboat, I really want to help you but I don't know the answer... but I do know there are lowering modules that can do the opposite of what you want. I'm guessing some sort of raising module might be what you are looking for

Thanks, a raising module would be perfect. 25mm extra lift would make a cayenne a weapon offroad with the right tyres.
I would be really happy if i could hold it in high two though.

Just thinking out loud but there must be a speed sensor wire that just needs unplugging in the suspension module. Suspension wiring diagram anyone? let a new search begin.

Someone was selling a Suspension lock. It looked like a valve that goes inline that block's air movement.
I'm trying to find it again and can't find it.
It was around $130 US.

If I find it again, I'll post a link in here.
