Replaced Currie draglink balljoint rubber boot. Cleaned the mess off it first.

Still to do, door hinge stops, vector offroad bar and mount 4/8 channel HD video cam screen, phone and epirb mounts. iPad is on a flexi Ram Mount, rigid enough for off road use, though.

Next on the list is to get Trailmod Flares for '15 JKs, if they make some. If not, something similar as others types get damaged or damage the body panels in tight situations.

I've also ordered another set of roof racks to add to the ones I have fitted at the rear of the hardtop so I can carry my kayak when I'm not taking the camper trailer with me.

The how much was the bag kit and who did you get it from??

The kit was $295 and I ordered it from Out of Town 4x4 which is my local store.

Get on the the Polyair website, Polyair.com.au and they will list your local stockist.

Where ever you order from though make sure they measure the ID of your springs as well as their length. Don't rely on what the Polyair website says is suitable for your JK which is what my local store and myself did, otherwise there is a good chance they won't fit.

When you need softer springs for the daily drive and better flex but then want to tow something they are then pumped up to assist the springs with a greater carrying capacity and less rear end sag. I fitted them for when I towed the caravan off road (when I couldn't use the weight distribution hitch) and they worked perfectly.

Hey seacomms were the airbags not enough on there own? I am about to get mine checked by a caravan towing centre, I know my springs are too soft and it is an uncomfortable towing experience. So I was hoping to get away with just airbags, did you need both?
My van weighs about 1800kg fully loaded

Try the airbags on their own, they may be all you need to help lift the rear end and settle the ride down.

I don't believe that weight distribution hitches are suitable for off road when you want a fair bit of articulation from an off road coupling like a Treg.
