Bodylift in a GU is easy to do . Kit is $350
Bodylift does not affect the air bags at all.

Cut a hole infront of the capsulated nut with the bottom of the hole level with the cross beam. Then you get a small cold chissel and smash the capsulated nuts off. Too easy! once done you can put any grade 8 bolt in with a nut and you'll have no dramas finding the right lenght. To do the rear you ...

Col Robinson steering at kedron can rebuild the power steer pump.
just putting a new seal won't fix the problem as there is probably a groove in the shaft from the old seal.
another avenue is to contact turner driveshafts as they do replacement pumps.
