Hi all
Just an update to let you know that I have installed airbag spring helpers in the back of my LC80. Can take up to 30psi, but at 10psi it keeps the beast level when fully loaded. Handling is still good, so now I wait to see how long they last.
Cheers

Hi Jon, Considering them for the Simpson trip in April, what costs were they?

Will wave as we traipse thru Oodnadatta!

I paid $330 for Firestone Coil-Rite kit from an Aussie distributor. Could have got the kit for around A$200 if I ordered direct from US, but wanted to get it in time for New Year trip. Have a look at this site for more info.
The kit was easy to install once I found a 25mm drill bit, took about 3 hours by myself.
Cheers

They are excellent!

Go to www.trucksprings.com and you can buy them for just over $100AU including frieght. They are the exact same retail box ARB and the like are selling here.
Your and absolute mad bastard if you don't get them from there as their service was great and it's less than half the price!

I orderd them from there and whacked them in the Surf myself, bloody fantastic little doovas!

I think their are a few other's on the forum who have bought them from the same place. (Captain??).

So Jeff, If I am runnign 50mm lifted OME springs in the Patrol, which model should I order? No Nissans there in the list that I recognise as vaguely similar to a Patrol.

Baz, you need to buy a Yota!! LOL :-P

Don't know mate, I just orded the one for the 4 runner. The kit came complete with a a foam spacer just in case you have a 2" lift.

I'm pretty sure captain has bought some for his GU from those guys, maybe a member message to him would give you a part number.
