Thread: Puma 110 rear air bag opinions...

I used polyair airbags in the rear of my 130 and never had a problem with them. Except that they just weren't designed to hold as much weight as I carried when I put our camper back on the tray. I now have a complete airbag system replacing the coils and I'm still not convinced just yet.

The inner airbags should be fine for 2-300 kgs though. You have to inflate them before you load the vehicle though and then adjust the pressure after it's loaded to bring the height to your requirements.

Ive done over 120,000km with mine and there is no visible wear as such. No chafing where the spring sits against the bag at all.

I use Coilrite on my D2 that takes a very heavy load in the rear. You can also get Coilrite HD which from memory go to about 50psi versus about 30psi max for the normal jobbies. I love mine. Had them for years. Cheers

As above.
I love my Airbag man set up. It keeps my rear end up when towing with 15lbs air.
Highly recommended.

Already ordered and waiting for arrival. Easy install?

Airbag Man bags in standard coils and shocks on mine and it's fine at 93,000 kms. I have drawers and a fridge and tow a camper trailer.
Might replace the shocks soon. Don't make it too stiff or you'll ruin the absorbent ride, I say.

Run them with an in cabin control fed from an on board air compressor you can then adjust them while going along.
This really helps with winding roads and high speed (as much as you can with a Defender)
Running 30 PSI in the airbags because you are in a hurry makes the Defender much more stable at high speed
