You are unlikely to find any unless you can come up with something else but I';ve never heard of anyone else using them. Paul (neutralfibre) said he got some 2" ones from the states but I had no luck with the part number. Most just put a large block in there to take up the gap. The ones that were in mine had a 90mm poly block. The ones in a mates came with spacers that were supposed to be from the airbag people and then the place that fitted them put in a couple of layers of chopping board thickpoly to get the rest of the gap. He was looking at mine only the other day and saying he wanted to get some thick poly and machine it down to fit instead of the multi layers in his. Mind you hes's had them like that through 3 vehicles and many k's and years without drama.

You are most likely only going to find standard height ones.

cheers fester

ive found 2 inch raised bags on superior engineering's website but yeah, no 4's

another question, what happens to the bags when the coils are getting completly extended out (under flex) ?
as i still want to use the cruiser for serious stuff


thanks again

Doesn't seem to be an issue they just sit how they like in the spring. They are snug tot he inside diameter of the spring and you always keep a couple of psi in them even when unloaded which stops them getting pinched. Mate has had his with 4" lift for probably 15 years and is only on his second set of bags over 4 vehicles (80 and 100 series so same bags)
