Looks Like I should be able to get it done at a mates metal fab shop for cost of materials.
I hadn't been thinking of the effect of the weight as having loaded it up for camping B4 it did not sag much nut then I didn't have 80+kg on the back. i think i'll build it load it up and see what happens. Might just put some coil spacers in to lift it back up for the duration of the trip. being the rear it would be real easy to take the spacers out as the load lightens. Or would that just trash the coils before there time?

I ordered my airbags from US and paid ~$295USD delivered to my door.
They've worked really well for me.

Coil packers would lift it up, but, they would not compensate for the extra weight, so the coils would be more prone to overcompression which is the real killer of coil springs. The air adjustable shockies sound like a real good idea, I have been thinking about them myself for touring holding up the weight, and, then when I'm just 4x4ing put my pro-comps back in for the articulation.
What brand Air adjustables are you using Lachlan????
