Airbag 79 series

Thanks John. I was bashing my head against brick walls and couldn't figure where i was going wrong.. I have sourced the airbags at airbag man and can't justify the price of $700 plus for them when they are only a few hundred from the states (but not for our fourby's) i wonder if anyone has tried sourcing a manufacturer here in Oz for them to do the same sorts of deals??

I don't know John how you can help some poeple
fitting the air bag man's bags to the troopy has to be one of the better moneys spent so far
even at $700 plus GST

if you want them you gotter pay for them

Agreed Richard they make a hell of a difference in every aspect.

I think Dodgy is correct, the bags themselves are not that dear, in our case its the custom mounts that allow the Aussie Distributor to price them up there.

No Leaf Sprung Cruisers in the US of A.

Tks Grutnip, its a big difference in price if your prepared to make the effort and the savings can be spent on other toys. I'm sure there's someone out there already been through the dilema and it's a matter of time before someone comes to the rescue.. I'm not real good on taking dimensions cos i'm not sure what or where they bolt in as i haven't yet seen one set up..I've just heard heaps about them and know they will help the saggy tail on the cruiser when i have the camper on.. Tks again..

Hey Gidday there Grand Young fella.. Bob would have to sell the mansion if i started stuff like that..LOL I hope your behaving down there pal and enjoying your retirement.. talk to you soon.. Uncle Bloody Ernie..

Tks Kesh, thats the sort of feed back i was after. From the research i've already done the 75s and 79 take the same airbag as it's the length of the spring that is different in the models. Off hand would you know for sure what year model F250 we are talking about here so i can look into it a wee bit more.. Hoping to get this all done in less than 4 weeks cos i got a date with the cape.. Regards Dodgy..

Sorry Dodgy, that would have been disposed of with the box!!
The bottom of the unit slips straight under the U bolts, its only the top bracket needs to match the holes for the exist. bump stops. The bracket removes from the top of the bellows, held on by 2 studs so a bracket to suit any vehicle could be easily fabricated. Uses sep. hoses to prevent air shift one side to other.
The Polyair units stretch out a hell of a long way, I have lifted my truck out of a bog using hilift jack under the tray side. The wheel dropped to what the spring would allow before it started to lift out but the poly. bag was still not fully extended.
Cant reccommend a better set up.

Dodgy, should have added this to my last. I have the heavy TJM bar,9000lb. winch on the front and was not happy the way the old girl would sometimes look like a BOH with its @rse up in the air. So I bought a pair of Monro pump up shocks and put on the front. Now have a dead level truck all the time and a good 2" lift if and when I need it. Once again have to split the air supply
