hilux diffs
rock crawling/ racing sort of stuff

Racing?
Anything of speed I would go the coilovers everytime.
Just crawling air shocks are perfect.

Airshocks have no real dampening value so if you are going to use the vehicle onroad you SHOULD only consider coilovers out of the 2 choices. Airshocks are great for real rockcrawling (meaning no speed, ie-buggies) but if you are thinking of using onroad then you need to consider a remote canister which just brings the cost up to coilovers.

I'm not sure why people think coilovers are for the rich and famous only.

They're not that expensive when you take into account what a good quality coil spring and a good quality standard shock costs.

Coilovers aren't expensive, but they certainly aren't cheap either. The fact is that the actual coilover shock is cheaper than the airshock, it is just the coils & whether you go 2 or 3 stage & also hot or cold rolled coils.
I can get you FOX, SAW, Walker Evans & Aushock.

What about Airshocks and shock combo...

I sell Radflo, FOA, Racerunner. My choice of the bunch Radflo (best built) for full race or hard core but for Budget (FOA).
