Thread: Air "Helper" springs.

I got around to fitting Airbag Man high pressure (CR5026HP) helper springs a couple of weeks ago. Took a bit of swearing, grunting and groaning, time and beer (Coopers Vintage Ale) to get them into the springs but the job was finally done. I opted for a single inflation / deflation point inside the rear door on the passenger side just below the vent where all the dust comes in.
Since I fitted them I've helped number one grandson move house and there was one trailer and car load that was HEAVY - trailer and ball weight would've been well over the 3500 / 250kg limits with the back of the car full of books. GCM would've been a fair bit over I reckon. 25 PSI in the airbags and ride height only suffered a little and to say I was impressed is an understatement. Let them down to 5 PSI for normal driving and the car rides a lot better with a good reduction in body roll. The "Driveway Test" with the camper hitched sees ride height restored to the unladen ride height.
For mine, if you're thinking of installing air helper springs just do it.

I ran the air lines up to next to the tow bar, so i can inflate them with my comp or at servo. With a bit of extra plumbing and a bit of thought you could fit a system where you gould pump them up from the driver's seat. Sure some on here have done that.

Did they offer the sleeves?? I thought they were standard theses days....maybe not
