Hi
We want to fit poly airbags to our pajero 2005, as our off road camper is fairly heavy. It is a golf 1996 and very sturdy. The wheels are to the back of the camper so lots of weight on the tow ball. Does anyone have experience with oly air bags in the pajero and how much would it be ( approx) to buy and fit or to buy and fit ourselves?
Any advice would be welcomed.
Regards Lenni

Thankyou for all your responses. The price sounds better than I thought. Are Poly Air the way to go or is there another one that is good?
The camper probably weighs about 1200 kg with a small load . However the wheels are set back ( good for stability) however the front of the pajero felt light when towing it and I noticed that the rear droped a fair bit when the camper was on the tow ball. It is a golf heavy duty off road camper. I was a little suprised that the pajero droped that far with the weight but I guess it just has standard
suspension. So do you think the air
suspension will make it safer to tow? By all accounts the air
suspension sounds like what I need , do you all agree?
Thanks again in advance for your time and assistance.
Regards Lenni

Make sure you are not overloading the legal tow ball weight of your vehicle.
If the towball weight is within spec, and the rear is sagging, you should get stronger springs with say a 30mm lift installed - then when you put the trailer on, it should settle at normal ride height - this is the objective.
Then you can also fit the airbags, as you will undoubtedly fill up the rear as
well with another 150-200kg of weight when touring.
