    It's been a while since I did it, but I seem to recall fitting the plates first by slipping them between the coils. Then fitting the bags the same way - between the coils.

    You need to get the spring as open as possible, so disconnecting the shocks helps.

    Cheers,
    Jon

    They did come back to me with a good tip that I'll try first, before I resort to jacking it up higher - try to pull the bottom of the bag out through one of the coils to make a gap at the top to feed the plate into.

    Thanks, I'll try airbag man's tip first and then possibly give this a go before I attempt to jack it up higher and undo the shock.

    Got this all sorted in the end.

    And to bring it back to the gist of some of the original posts, the saggy suspension heights have gone from (hub centre to wheel arch eyebrow):
    Front 48.5cm
    Rear 49.5cm

    To:
    Front (same)
    Rear 52cm with 10psi in the bags.

    Winner!

    That's good.
    I started with 10 in the rear airbags, but have gone to 15. Happy with that.
