Thread: My 4 corner airbag install

From where did you source the front upper shock mounts?


Well done

Nice work, just did something very similar myself, i havnt posted anything up yet on mine, just trying to smooth out all the kinks first, i used the firestone bellows on the rear and an airbag man setup on the front which i am not 100% happy with, where did you source your bags and how much did they set you back? they look ideal for the front of mine, i am also planning on doing my other truck as well. Also what did you do about your shock valving?

Another one now riding on air. Be interesting how the front set up behaves. I have modified Toyota playdoe bellows in the front. Far from perfect.

Also, wonder if the rear bellows will ever gets pinched in the top spring perch on yours, Is a problem for me.

Are you fitting HD sway bars or anti roll bars? I can see the factory job, mine used to turn inside out on full down droop!

Thanks

Sourced from a late model Range Rover Classic that had the air suspension.

Sourced the bags from;

Firestone Airide Replacement Air Spring - w02-358-9901 - w02-358-9901 | $104.95

(sorry click for 'Insert Link' not working right now for me, you will have to copy and paste)

Price shown on site. I had to get them sent to a mate in the US then shipped across as they wouldn't ship here


What did I do about the shock valving? Umm nothing

With it set at the standard spring height, I would say it has less roll than with original coils, soaks up bumps better and has no ill handling effects.

With it lowered it does sway abit at high speeds, but nothing serious.

So far no ill effects. Highway (including QLD to Vic) and general around town all good. Other than a few flexs off-road, haven't given them a punishing yet in this aspect.

The rear bellows have loads of clearance from the top spring perch, so I can't see how these ones will get pinched

Standard sway bar on mine. No inside outs with them yet, but maybe I just need to do more drooping

Sheldon, how are you controlling it all?

You haven't flexed it enough yet, with that travel your sway bars will definetly suffer, first little test i did on mine flexing it in the shed using just the bags was enough to invert the rear sway bar, either that or your really not getting the travel the bags have available with those shocks.
