Air bag support for rear suspension

Post by ibgripped »

Does anyone have any suggestions for which brand of air bags suspension support to get for my L400. I run on veggie oil, and on long trips my rear end is sagging with the load...

Thanks,
Rick

Firestone is a common brand and makes quality stuff.

I believe there is a pair of airbags at CVI right now, maybe give them a call? Not sure what brand they were.

I put in an Airlift 1000 Airbag. Sorry can't remember the model number but it was for a 95 Montero. Fairly easy install.
My back end used to sag and bottom out every dip and bump.

The only time rear end sag is an issue for us is when we load 2 adults, two teenagers, one dog, four bikes, camping gear, golf clubs and excessive amounts of beer into and on our L400. This only happens a couple times a year and I've always assumed it would be expensive and difficult to DIY air bags. The link in the last post shows the cost to be less than $200 and the install is easy(ish). Luckydad I'd love your feedback through the process. If all goes well for you I think I'll follow your lead.

Anyone else have two cents worth?

That is the right one. I have it as well.

Amazing instal. Might take you a couple of hours to do it unless you have a lift.
