Does anyone have any thoughts and comments on the use and practicalities of air
suspension on 4WD’s particularly Nissan Navara’s?
Cheers

Is that full air
suspension or just rear Load assist?

People with some models of Rangerover with full air
suspension change them to coils all round for off road - more reliable and last longer. The airbags and compressor on our Range are almost stuffed at 140,000km and 9 years old. They will all need repalcing in the next 12 months or so.

Daryl, I have full air
suspension in the rear of the 100 Series and a friend has air in the front and rear of his patrol. It is particularly useful if you vary the mass to be carried in the rear of your vehicle.
If you expect to make your vehicle flexible in it's ride height though, the higher lift you give, is a higher air pressure and you may find there is a bit more bounce, or even a lot more bounce, depending on your pressures.
