If you already have aftermarket springs get them reset- be just as good as anything else you will buy and heaps cheaper apparently.

Any spring will sag with time- so don't keep forking out for newies if you don't have to.

air bags

Post by acn9479 »

i just priced a set of poly air bags for a 92 hilux and the go for about $385 to fit yourself and about $460 to fit (that was priced from TJM) they reckon they are the s%^t because it gives good of road cause you can take some of the leafs out and when towing just pump up the bags
