airbag "helper"suspension

Post by Sam Walker »

G'day all, I did a quick search but did not turn up any info as to whether or not airbag suspension is any good or not ? Seems like a handy idea for those times when you have extra weight to carry.... Curious because I found these while looking around on Ebay

I was under the impression they were not highly regarded by people that don't have them. Just about everybody that does have them think they are excellent and reliable.

Hmmm, I should get a set also.

By the looks of the Ebay link these are proper airbags not like the original polyair red ones. Many people have had bad experiences with the polyair red bags – I think it would be short sighted to generally include the “once were truck application only” type airbags in the same category. Airbags will definitely help level up your ride especially when carrying/towing a heavier than normal load. Do yourself a favour and do your homework before you buy. Follow up with some of those that deal with airbags on a day-to-day basis before parting with your cash.

My mate has recently fitted the bellows style airbags to the back of his dual cab lux and he LOVES them!
He bought his from Op lock but they came in an "Airbagman" box.

G'day, had a look at the sites and was impressed. However it's probably a bit over the top for the car I have at the moment (beat up FJ62). Makes sense from a load carrying point of view anyway.
