    2 inch SLS Lift. Why not just taller bags?

    As the title says. Why is the only option to install lift blocks under the standard height bags? Why doesn't someone just make a taller bag? It can't be that hard. Maybe I should look at changing the mounts and fitting some other bag.

    Happy Days.

    Perhaps because there are not taller bags available? Do you have a particular set in mind that you intend to use?

    I believe a company made some once upon a time, but they're no longer available and I'm not aware of anyone else who makes them.

    airbag man used to sell them

    Can't legally put spacers in the suspension in Queensland. Airbag man used to sell a replacement bag that gave the additional height. Do a seach on aulro for it. Some 2 or more years ago iirc. ABM link no longer valid- need to search on part nr.

    I dont have any in mind mate.

    I just thought I cant be the first person to think about it.

    Surely it's a better option than spacers as you get full extra travel. Spacers keep the same travel length and just boost height.

    Happy Days.

    Got a reference for that? I thought Queensland signed up to VSB14 now which doesn't prohibit it.

    I called Airbag Man today. They had sold taller bags in the past but they failed in some way and they no longer sell them. No detail were given how they failed.

    Looks like lifting blocks are the only way these days.

    Happy Days.

    National code of practice and tmr vehicle mod guide (Nov 2012) only talks about additional length springs and rebound targets of 2/3 original spring rebound (paraphrasing the doco), plus other requirements. In 2011 in Qld definitely illegal (eg fines etc); if other than longer springs then... interpretation most probably is illegal?

    Thoughts? If someone knows a certifying engineer.....?
