bellow style airbags?

What make are they

Before you do anything do a search on Nissan GU utes and wagons cracking the rear shock towers off when fitted with HD springs and or airbags.
Very expensive fix in a remote area.

vbdaniel. Many years ago I fitted the red PolyAir bags inside coil springs to my HZJ 75 'Cruiser to carry a 1 tonne slide-on camper and while they were good they eventually died. I then upgraded to the bellows type PolyAir bags and couldn't believe how much better they were, no body roll, vehicle sits level and with a much better ride.
They are easy to fit and at half a grand go for it !

G'day vbdaniel
I have recently installed "Slam Specialties" slam bags into my 08 RA Colorado. After doing the research, I opted for these as the alternative bags rely on the original bump stops whereas the slam bags have an in-built bump stop which IMO is a safer option. They are rated at a higher PSI and can handle heavier loads. As far as price, they work out about the same as the conventional bags such as Polyair. I had a compressor and tank installed which allows me to adjust the height internally. I bought mine from Air Ride Suspension - Bayswater Vic. These guys mainly supply the low-rider enthusiasts such as chevs. The guy that installed mine has a 67 - 68 Chev ute (fully restored) with NO springs - just slam bags. My opinion only.

VB,
I have passenger side airbag with in built voice guided navigation. Down side is that you can't switch it off. Up side is that you aren't allowed to get bogged. You also have to buy them a B&B every couple of weeks and find a good restaurant more often than that. I couldn't live without her!

G'day VBDnaiel.

I have had the bellows airbags fiitted to my 76 series for three years and tow an outback camper. The Bellow airbags have been excellent and I fully recommend them. I let them down to about 20psi to get the wagon in the garage and for trips you can put upto 100 psi in them.
I run mine at about 50 with the camper fully ladened. It levels the vehicle and there is no sway.Well worth the money. I had the poly airbags on a Jackaroo prior to the bellows but the bellows for heavier loads are far better.

Bellows on my 97 troopy. Excellent. Made a big difference towing a heavy camper trailer. Purchased in Cairns 2 years ago and get a good work out where I live now. No issues and simple to fit. The first one took nearly an hour. The other side half an hour...you learn.
cheers

Sounds like you have a leaf sprung Patrol, so it won't be the coil spring towers that will crack!! But the leaf sprung chassis will still crack forward of the front eyes. Bellows potentially put all the stress onto a section of the chassis that was not designed to take it. Minimize the load, minimize the airbag pressure (I never go above 20) and don't fit airbags as a substitute for decent springs.
