Airbags in AEV 2.5" Suspension

[SeaComms]

When I looked around the Firestone CoilRite bags were a little dearer but everywhere I read up on them the Firestone were rated as the better. Supposedly stronger bag, better fitting for the air lines and valves. How true this is I do not know, but very happy with them none the less.

One tip though, when fitting the air lines, cut the lines cleanly with a knife as per the instructions then chamfer the outer edge off a tiny bit, then wet the end before pushing it into the bag. Slides in much easier and seats properly first go.

Thanks Sea Coms but I wouldn't even try it. I'm totally useless. Pedders in Malaga do it I think. I'll call them tomorrow and see if they either fit it or recommend someone who does.

Thanks for the feedback Dave and Ross, I was going to measure them up anyway but if I know a compatible kit number it will confirm that I've got the right ones. I looked into airbags when I had the Mopar suspension a couple of years ago and it turned out that the best fit were 2" lifted Prado ones. I never got around to going ahead with them as I wasn't really happy with the Mopar lift (or the ARB springs I put in as an interim measure). Its taken me over 18 months to finally decide on a replacement suspension so it looks like I have to do the same exercise again.

Took my car to Pedders this morning. One of the guys got underneath and took measurements and my car is booked in on Tuesday for fitment.

And make sure they run the airline out the top... saw one "installation" where they had run the airline out the axle end, cable tied to the axle tubes, then thin air to the rear bumper.

Funny there seemed to be some issues with air leaks.

Will do, thanks
