Have seen lots of discussion on Polyair
suspension aids but nothing on Coil-Rite - which appears to be very similar if not identical. Any
feedback on Coil-Rite would be appreciated. Intended application is to restore ride height in my 2002 GU Patrol with an off-road caravan in tow.

Thanks to all who replied to this post.
After consulting with my local caravan service centre I decided to install a Hayman Reece 250 KG weight distribution system, compatable with the treg coupling on the van. This not only restored ride height but distributed the weight from the back of the car to the front. Van and car are dead level on the road and towing is noticably better - the rig feels like one unit now. Clearance at the base of the tow hitch receiver is also better than it was without the van attached.
I will have to uncouple the weight bars when in off-road situations such as steep entry/exit to creek crossings but I see that as a small price to pay.
If I want to I can still install polyairs or heavier springs/shocks and adjust the weight distribution system accordingly.
Cost of the system was $585 installed Vs about $400 for the polyairs and/or coil-rites.
Cheers
Kevin
