I'm back Dodgy
Just to paint the scene for you - I have the aforementined Troopy which has been converted into a pop top camper that includes a 200L (yep 200 not 20) stainlees steel
water tank. Along with a belly L/R Fuel tank.
When Fully loaded it used to frighten the' B Gee sus' out of me.
I tried re-set, revamped original springs. and that was worse. Didn't sleep
well at all.
Soooooooooooooooooo! ripped the lot out and replaced them with KINGS Mining Packs. (Extreme H/Duty) 90 % improvement on lift when loaded, no bending leavs and no gaps between th leaves in the pack from leaves straightening and bending backwards. = No loss of sleep.
However the A R S E end was still sagging a tad especially with a full load of water.
Installed a set of Poly Air bellows (Black)
Mate what can I say other than pure magic. Looks as though its empty at all times, Stability improved significantly.
Been across Simpson,
Birdsville Track (Bit of a Highway But Hey!) K1 Line,
Cordillo Downs track number of times etc etc etc and never missed a beat. Also has KONI shocks all round.
I purchased them (poly Airs) in Melb and had them installed. Cost $800 3 years ago. Yeah! I know a bit pricey but thats show biz..
Now they are the same as these ones at :

Except that the mounting plates are different on a 75 series Troopy, thats why I asked what yours was like.
The Yanks don't have Troopys from what I can see on the web so you would have to make sure what ever you buy has the correct mounts for your machine.
That was one of the reasons I had them supplied and fitted.
However, the importer is in
Sydney and you can buy direct if you like.
I spoke to him at the time of fitting
mine and he was happy to supply me along with in cabin control gear to raise/lower etc your load, and no, I can't remeber the dudes name or number. If I do I'll Post it for you.
