Polyair bags.

I have exactly the same problem with my prado when I tow my camper. I also cant fit into the garage with a lift but I replace my rear springs with 30 percent stiffer but I feel I still need polyairs.

You can get stiffer springs but then you loose your comfort i'd go for the air bags i paid $310 arb midland very happy but have been told you loose articulation but havent noticed any thing yet

cheers paul

Rick,

Had a similar situation with my GU - KK on the back, three teenagers and their accompanying gear in the back (when we go away). Most of the time however it is just me on the way to work. I had Polyairs fitted by ORE in Myaree. They were competitively priced and did a great job. (I've seen others fitted elsewhere and I feel that mine are fitted better!) They do a great job For my circumstances.

If you are in a similar situation I would recommend the Polyairs.

Cheers

Hi Rick,
I have them on my GQ. I am very happy with them mate. Dont go stiffer springs. Biggest advantage i find with them is height adjustment when needed. Also another advantage of having them even when trailer is unattached ...although they are NOT designed for this....... I find times when I am exploring that the bottom scrapes over rocks, A quick inflation gets me over them without that terrible scraping noise. Then back at camp base where I drop them back to where they were.
In my opinion, well worth the money. Excellent product !

Consider the air bags put out in the US by Firestone. Half the price and do the same job. This is the link. I got mine, took about 2 weeks (they were out of stock) and they come with a very good set of installation instructions. I think they came in at around $160 (from memory), and the Aussie dollar is travelling a bit better now.
My car is an 80 Series Landcruiser.

Visit this wb site www.polyair.com.au

I have installed the Poly Air Bags in my GU.

Did 20,000km trip around Oz with 1.5 ton van. Best pre-trip money I spent.

Excellent in keeping the car ride level, completely stopped rear end 'bottom outs'.

A good cheap solution to most towing problems I recon.

cheers

Rick,

I fitted the Coil-Rites purchased from the US, and did the hole package with adjustable in cab gauge etc, it's great. All up half the price you pay here.
