Check out www.trucksprings on google. Follow leads in airbags and instructions on how to fit Firestone air bags are there. I'd say polyairs are the same to fit.

Yep - as Sed says, you can download the destructions for everything it seems at Truckspring - got my original paperwork from there prior to purchase - hell.... those yanks do have some admirable qualities when it comes to marketing - Aussie retailers would want more money, after charging too much, and that's only if they responded to your query !

Banjo,
did you end up buying thru trucksprings? I haven't had much success in them returning an email for a quote on coilrites- maybe things are slow over dec-jan over there, but I've emailed once and got a reply about 3 weeks later then sent reply twice and havent heard a thing in 4 weeks. If the price including postage is not much cheaper I'm now wondering if it's worth the effort and just pay the $340 odd here

Wormboy - see my post number 17937 for my project. Best way might be to ring them one night (around midnight CSST - yours may differ) .... will only cost you a couple of $ if you have all the detail ready - credit card purchase, delivery address, part number etc. Might be the best way. My email contact with them was good - about 24-48 hrs turnround at most. Re savings ..... I know it is false economy to muck around at length BUT the local product is rip-off priced - wait till you see how simple the product is - as I said, they seem to be no more than thick walled plastic drink bottles, with a few air fittings and some line - $320 is disgusting. I've put the $160 difference into some other camping gear.

I've been looking at the website for trucksprings for a set of bags for a gq but can't seem to see which ones are right. Does anyone know offhand?

If your go to the Aust airbag- man site at
http://www.airbagman.com.au/ and obtain airbag type and kit part numbers for your GQ there it appears that its the same reference numbers they use for the firestone coil rites at trucksprings usa.
I see they don't list the patrol at truck springs but an inquiry with them using the aust numbers may help. I cross referenced a couple of vehicles listed at both sites and they both corresponded with the same numbers - but it would pay to double
check. - I thought Nissan would have sold patrols in the USA ? I went to the USA Nissan site and looked at all their new suv's models and checked out each name but nothing really resembled the patrol only something called Armada.
goodluck!
