D2 SLS or convert to Coils with Bags?

[ak]

My D2 2001 with SLS needs a new air compressor which will cost about the same give or take a couple hundred dollars as it would to convert it to coils with air bags inside the coils, you know what I mean.

Have replaced the air springs two years ago and they will last about another three years. So a conversion to coils and bags should be the cheapest in the long run?

What should I do? What are the pro's and con's of both? Opionion's please?

I loved the SLS in mine, i would keep it, have a look around at other options with the compressor, who have you tried so far? i was looking at doing some more mods to my SLS before i got rid of my d2 and had spoken to the airbag man about a replacement compressor, if i remember right it wasnt that costly.

Thanks Cal. Yes I love the SLS in mine too so good for towing. I was under the impression you changed your D2 over to coils. Or where thinking of it, don't know where I got that from.

I thought the compressor's where pretty expensive. Would not mind sticking with SLS if they are not to dear.

keep the SLS handy and keeps the same height, I will be changing another set of springs on the front of mine soon as they have sagged.

Shop around for the compressor I have kept my old one it was the barrel that wore out in mine may be able to get it sleeved at some stage.

Could you replace the aigs with ciols and airbags and connect them to the sls system?

I like the fact that the car rides level whether you have no weight in it or loaded up for an outback trip.
I've done 110k in mine with no problems & no replacements. I do make sure though that I clean around the air bag roll by using the lift button & removing all the mud etc.
