Hi all
I asked about polyairs vs Hayman Reese late last month, thanks for all the replys.
I ended up with the Hayman Reese 550 kit and didn't go with the air bags.
With Camper on and no kit fitted the front wheel arch level was 96.5cm and rear was 89.5cm, with kit fitted rear is 89.5cm and front is 90.25cm. Needless to say car is dead level and drives like the van is not connected (apart from fuel consumption).
I was quoted up to $660 plus fitting ($50 - $65) ended up getting the kit for $495 and fitted it myself, took about 30 minutes to get it all done.
Very happy with the result.

As long as your happy that's the most important thing.
Me i would of got the Polyairs, but that's because of the offroad driving we do, we need ground clearance.
The other main reason we don't have the reece leveler is our vehicle manual states NOT to use one.
We are however thinking of getting the Reece leveler for the Camry as it sinks in the arse alot whenever we put a trailer on the back.

What is your vehicle? It sounds like the late model Pathfinder with the Nissan tow bar - if you replace the tow bar with a HR one you will be able to use WDH. If you go back to your Nissan agent and complain that the towbar is not up to the job and demand a HR one be fitted most come to the party.

U did the right thing, you will have better control with more weight on your front wheels where your brakes do 70% of the braking, not to mention steering..... u can put whatever you like in the back, if you dont have the ride leveller system, your an accident waiting to happen.
