Thread: 4" lift???

I like the idea of airbags and the adjustable height they can give. They have a lot of advantages if set-up correctly (depending what you want the vehicle for.

I'm not keen on castor correction radius arms though and they would offer little advantage if you have adjustable ride height - so no need to correct castor if running near standard height for highway use. I also don't like the manufacture of QT radius arms.

I would use a larger air receiver - 2l seems far too small for me, but then you may not be looking at frequent or great height change.

I don't know anything about the 80 series bags - I assume they are for a conversion kit.

Yes I agree but with 35" tyres even at my lower adjustment I will be at least 3" lift ?? Hence the thought of castor correction ? What do you think of scorpion radius arms ? and whats the problem with QT ?

Sorry I just checked and its 2 Galon, and I do have twin pumps puting out 90LPM.

Yes they are Aftermarket conversion bags, the reason I am using them is they are the right diameter (as per earlier post regarding cruiser front coils in Disco's !, and give me more height for my particular requirements over P38 style bags !

Cheers for your help !

The main reason I don't like castor correction radius arms is they rotate the diff pinion down. The way that the u-joints are phased in the front driveshaft of disco I and rrc leads to problems. A d.c. driveshaft won't help, because the diff pinion needs to be aligned with the driveshaft.

The QT and scorpion arms are much lighter construction than stock radius arms, and from reports on UK forums, it appears there were issues with poor quality welding in the past.

The best way to correct castor is to rotate the swivels and keep the pinion angled up for the driveshaft.
