How did you end up going with the bottom plate you were talking about. I'm considering using bags to keep the rear of my 90 lifted when I tow my camper.

How have you found them in use and also day to day, assuming you fitted them.

Can't help with the 90 specific part if your question but I have helper airbags in the back of my 110 and I'm very happy with them. I usually run with a minim of 500kg on board, but head up to GVM for longer trips so I'm running HD springs and then air up to suit the additional load.

Only issue I've had has been a lower spacer (which is standard figment on a 110) disintegrating - suspect a manufacturing defect as no issues since.

Suspect they've cost me some articulation but it seems a reasonable trade off in a touring rig.

Hope this is of some use.

G'day n plus one, thanks for the reply. From the reports I have read, the majority of people are happy with them. Do you know if there is any difference between Firestone coil rite and the polyair. I see the coilrite can have a Kevlar sleeve to help protect the bag, do you know if they are worthwhile having?

I have read somewhere here that some prefer the airline connections on the coilrite over the polyairs due to leaking.

On another note, was that you (silver 110 with white hard RTT) I passed on the Monaro Hwy between Michelago and Bredbo last Saturday morning? I was in a white 90.

Yeah, that was me - just did a quick high country run on the weekend.

Did you see the rolled-over bronze ice tech 110 at the Cooma wreckers? I was hoping to buy some parts off it but I think it's going to the auctions.

If memory serves you only get the Kevlar sleeve on the higher rated bags, not the standard ones (which is what I have).

I've had no air line/fitting dramas with my Airbagman bags - not sure about other options.

I was so busy gawking at your truck as you came towards me I forgot to wave I did give the old multiple brake taps to say g'day though, the truck looks good.

No I missed the 110, thats a shame its going to auction, a few misc parts would be good as spares.

Yeah the kit with the sleeves from airbag world $470 compared to $325 for the standard bags.
