if its only heavy for the odd weekend full of camping gear i wouldnt recomend the 400/100.
that rating is more suited to cars decked out with draws, fridges, recovery gear, roof racks, twin spare tyre's etc

You also need the 1/2" to 12mm reducing bushes from Rovertym.

i cant seem to find those reducing bushes from rovertym...

can you point them out to me?

do i need 8 of these reducing bushes? 4 at the back and 4 for the front?

Also Tombie Did you get these from the US and how much was postage for you? They are telling me that its going to be very expensive because of the 200PSI pressure in the remote tank... :S

Hey phill are you running SLS rear?

if not how do you think its going to go ? i have SLS rear....

i have sls and ace. i think you wont notice any differance. the ace system will, for better or worse, to a degree controll the shocks, its a system that minimises body roll, so if you put in a stiffer shock it should work less and softer shocks will offer the reverse.
the air bags are bascially just a spring and a shock controlls springs so im confident in saying that there wont be any noticable differance, other than the replacement of the dead OE shocks to the new billies.
