Air Bags

Post by stinger »

The Landrover Mob in Cairns (qld) do some work in this area. I think they supply parts that convert air bags to manual inflation system. I am currently in SA so I do not have any more details for them than that.

MR Automotive in Brissy may also be a source of advice. It is also possible to replace the air compressor and solinoids with aftermarket parts if you technically inclinded.....

Mine seems more stable with spring conversion. However I think it needs some stiffer shocks.

The D2 responds well to stiff rear shocks.
