Hi, I used to have a pajero and jayco eagle off road. Went around OZ 35000kms.
Level riders worked perfectly: DO NOT use them when travelling OFF ROAD as
they operate in conflict to trying to keep as much wheel grip as possible!

Use "weight distribution Hitch". Talk to towing specialists such as Hayman reese. Background is that the weight on the towball reduces weight on the front wheels, interfering with steering and braking. Using weight distibution gear puts weight back on front wheels - much safer. Take off in rough stuff only if necessary for clearance - eg some creek crossings. I towed a Jayco Penguin to Innamincka, birdsville, Maree, Dalhousie springs, Old Andado, then down the Gunbarrel from Warburton & via the Heather highway, having previously taken it down the Gibb River Raod, into the Bungle Bungles, Tanami & Plenty. It was infrequently necessary to remove the gear. Use Polyair bags to maintain normal towball height when vehicle loaded for trip before hooking up & use weight distribution hitch to restore towball height after hitching up. Emjoy your trips!

Have used a pair of Polyairs on back of Landcruiser to level the back while carrying a load and find them fantastic. Suggest you phone Heasmann's in Sydney for advice as they make the bags ! 02-9519-9774

Thanks for your reply. I thought that I can get away with either Polyair Bags or levelrides but it looks like combination of both is required.
I have already ordered Polyairs to be installed on Monday.I opted for suspension aid because I believe it will work better with my standard coil suspension.
Do I need both ? I heard that level rides stop trailed from jumping around when it's being passed by eg road train.What are the traffic rules regarding this.
