Polyairs or similar

Search for a reference on 'Truckspring" in the forum - that mob in the US will ship them to your door for half the outlay here in Oz. Air Ride and Firestone are the brands they supply - quality products - forumites here have used them.

Hi Joondalupgerry,i used coil rites in my 100 series and swear by them(firestone)a friend of mine used polyairs and had nothing but problems,then others have used them and had no issues??dont get it but IMHO i would go the coil rites.cheers Paul

I have had the Polyairs in my Cruiser since 2002 and not had a problem - the best thing I had fitted IMHO.

There are a couple of other brands out there but at the end of the day I think they are all priced around the same mark.

I ran Polyairs in my old Maverick (GQ) for 11 years, not a problem. Have been running them in my GU for the last 7 years likewise.

I have had Polyairs on the 100 series cruiser and pull a three ton van,work great and have had no trouble at all. Early days yet, just two years old, just set presure and forget, hope they stay that way.
Cheers, Nev.

Search around you'll find there is potential to do quite bit of damage to patrols with air bags or very stiff suspension. I destroyed the upper spring towers in my GQ. Had upgraded spring and polyairs. Don't think I had that much weight but no doubt over. Towers split on the trip up to the cape and was told it's very common. If you go ahead simply get the towers reinforced, it's pretty easy and won't cost that much.

Hi Joondalupjerry,

Try www.4wddirect.com.au (in Brisbane) he seems very obliging, not scared to advertise his prices online for you to compare and free posts anywhere in Australia I believe. I found him very good when I bought polyairs for my 4Runner recently.

Cheers

Thanks for the collective wisdom. i'm not looking to stiffen or lift it to any major degree...just stop a bit of rear spring due to a 1500kg caravan.
The Riedrubber option is looking good.
Cheers
Gerard and Anne
