Thinking of fitting Air Suspension, any advice ?

I agree, but SWMBO has a veto on my purchases!

If you have a modicum of mechanical ability fitting air assist on the rear is usually straightforward. Have a look on EBAY for the kits. Online video's will show a bolt by bolt how to fit guideline.

There was another thread about someone who was refused / questioned (can't remember which) by their insurance company about the "fit for purpose" of their solar panel fitting. Obviously the insurance co was worried about liabilities if the panel came off and hit other vehicles / people. I think the insurance co wanted an independent engineers report.

I'm guessing that similar could be said about altering the suspension on your vehicle. You'd certainly have to inform the insurance co that you had done it.

I informed my insurance company and they acknowledge that change without comment.

Hi fitted Dunlop air to rear axel any practical competent person could fit
About £500 for parts works fantastic on my 6 ton mh

Keep seeing people recommend Dunlop air bags so thinking of getting some from fleabay -
Dunlop Air Assist
Does that look like a reasonable deal, or where else could I get some from?

Or do I buy a cheaper Rubena Kit -
Rubena Air Assist

Getting a local garage to fit them as it can go up on the ramps and I know the mechanic

That’s where I bought my Dunlop rear air from, but direct from Marcle.

You’ll need to specify if you have the electric parking brake and if so then the anti roll bar drop links will need to be changed for the earlier ones - about £30 for the two. There’s a thread I did on the installation somewhere on here.

Ordered them and have them a call as well as you can have the valves and gauge orientation 3 different ways. Really nice people and very helpful
