[Ranga]

Anyone know a good place to source air-bag suspension for a Defender HCPU?

You will not have the chance to see it, but each LR Expo there has been someone with aftermarket airbag suspension setup for LR.
You may have to wait till someone reports on exhibitors. If I attend, I'll pass on the supplier.

I'll call him on Monday. Newhue and I actually met him at the 4WD show - we were attracted by his Defender at the stand.

Mind you, looking around it appears the Firestone kits here are about 3 times the price of what you pay from the US

PS - I'm bored with the old buy locally debate. 3 times the price is hard to understand, and hard to accept. If I can find a reputable US dealer, they'll probably get my sale.

Have a look at this thread >>> 120" extra cab <<<
I think Matt used Air Bag Man.
If I remember correctly, some time ago, ABM was developing air bags for the front of 110's. Previously they had to be modified one's to fit, I think, so hopefully now there's a whole bolt on kit to suit Defender / County.

I just read a thread on another forum discussing airbag use. It was claimed that the Firestone coil-rite airbags are for temporary load levelling, and not designed for constant use.

Given I will have the load on most of the time for 12 months, I'm not sure if they're the right bags to use, or if I should choose another type.

I'll chat to AirBagMan and see. If he's providing advice and his prices aren't too over the top, I'll give him the job.

i find that statement hard to believe, i have had both and there was very little difference between them and i preferred the firestone air line setup.
