Thread: coils or airbag

Contact Shane at Suspension Stuff and get a spacer Kit from Tombie2.
Get some new bags if you are concerned about the condition of the existing bags.

The Air bags are a better ride and the SLS speaks for itself. Rear suspension that always ensures correct ride height no matter what you have in the back cannot be beaten by coils. Direct comparison between my sons D2 on coils and mine on Air Bags leaves the coils wanting in all cases.

My 2 cents only and the next post will likely praise the coils as being the best thing. But properly maintained SLS (as any mechanical equipment) out classes coils anyday Do a search on SLS if you want suppliers etc. More info here than you could throw a saggy coil at.

cheers

as im the next post im not going to praise coils in a D2
keep the SLS, fit the spacers get some dobinsons springs for the front.
the biggest thing with suspension is to do the springs and the shocks at the same time. no point using new springs and old shocks.

cheers phil
ps SLS works better offroad than coils in D2's IMHO.

I'll make it a hat-trick for SLS

For all the above reasons. Airsprings are cheap & easy to replace. The ride is better. When you load up, it will self level ... not drag it's rse.

At the first sign of a failing airspring, change 'em both, to protect the compressor from working overtime, and enjoy!

... and fit a front swaybar disconnect for offroad to get better articulation in the front. The works pretty good with SLS.

Kev..

Its a Quadrella for SLS.
There is just no comparison.

Pm baffle for overlength bag information,, 4"++

and at just over $100au for a (standard bag),,
their cheaper than coils,,,

Yep, SLS.

I thought I read somewhere on this forum that front disconnects are not needed with ACE??

i dont think the ACE system will opperate in low range, or is it under 7kph?
anyway its supposed to disconnect...as in the system dose nothing, the bars however will still be attached its just the actuation of the hyd cylinder that becomes open, so, if the cylinder has minimal resistance then disconnects may not be worth it for ACE D2's?

I believe ACE D2's flex better at the front than standard D2's,,
