Just wondering if anyone out there has fitted their own polyairs and how much is involved, didnt look too bad or complicated to me so was going to do it myself rather than pay fitting. Also what is a good price for a pair for GQ, best I have found is $349 (in
Perth)
Thanks....

Zapper,
I've fitted these to both GU and GQ. You do not have to remove
the springs on either vehicle.
Drop the shocks and raise the vehicle as high as possible. Deflate the Polyair ie: squeeze all of the air out of them and then seal them up with a cap of some sort. From memory I used a grease nipple cap. Feed the bag trough
the springs, remove the cap and feed the bag into position while it inflates. I attach the hose while the bag is inflating and use a push bike pump for final inflation to ensure they
seat properly.
Save a lot of unnecessary hard work.

Soap up the inside of
the springs and the outside of the bag It'll make it a lot easier to get the bags into position (good old "sunlight soap")
