What are people's thoughts about using air bellow bag suspension with leaf springs to inmprove ride and suspension flex?
My plan was to use 2 inch lift comfort springs with airbags to bring it to the height i want when loaded.

I have them and I find em pretty good, They are thaere more as a load helper than a lift kit though.

I had them on my "old Triton" and enjoyed them so much that I fitted them again with the comfort OME leaf springs at the rear. It helps a lot with leveling out as well as to compensate for uneven weight distribution, improved riding height when with heavy loads etc. (When going on a trip I inflate them to have the same ground clearance after Ive put on a heavy load as when empty) - works wonders and I can certainly reccommend.

I'm getting the black rubber air bellows instead of the polyair ones. I have had the polyair in the past be the coil pinched a hole in the side.
hHey oink i'm getting them off ebay, they are costing $410 icluding post. They polyair ones are $298 from where Magilla suggested.
Cheers

Im going to get them in the next week or 2 aswell. the same ones for my hilux as when she's full of camping gear the arse end dipps down that little bit more than I would like, thou the comfort when empty and offroading is awesome.

its a best of both worlds kind of compromise.

cant wait to put them in.
