Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

My van has a saggy backend and I'm looking to solve that. I put one of Jesse's lift kits a couple years ago on it but left the rear springs stock. I'm looking at either putting in an Air lift kit in or new springs and a kit. If I stay with stock springs I'll leave the lift spacers in. My main question is what kit number should I order. I've found a couple posts on here that lay out the kits they used.

So those posts leave me with the following options.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/air-61792

Does anyone have an idea which would be the correct one?


thanks,

Some heavy duty springs available locally

So on the advice or Profister I checked out http://www.lowriders.ca/ for my Air Lift 1000 kit. This place is a little out of the way but well worth the drive. The sales guy (Gary?) went out and measured up the springs and got on the phone to Air lift to cross reference the replacement bags and the full kits. We found out the proper fit for my L400 this way. I have one of Jesse's lift kits on and the coil spring spacers compress the back quite a bit. As per Profister and Aciled if you DON'T have a lift the proper kit is #61792. If you're like me with the rear spacers the proper kit is #60792. I'll post an update when it's installed. Hope this helps any interested parties and do support Lowriders Unlimited...Top Service.

I have the kit and I might be selling it if anyone is interested.

I just installed HD springs AND air bags, its awesome. I would recommend doing both.

Funny Enough. I just got my van back today with the lift in. It's INSANE!!! worth every penny. Picture to come.

And the air bags are in as well. Car is super stiff.

Awesome

Just put airbags in today. No lift. What psi did you pump to in order to get it stiff?

I think I'm running at 20 right now. I would start at the max pressure and then drop down by 5 until you find what you want. I think it depends on the condition of your springs too, the softer the spring, the more pressure you'll want. 10 was a nice ride but 20 gives me the lift I want for the back, and I usually have a bit of weight back there anyways.

Macro,

Does it squeak now? Mine kinda does. Is that normal? Is there some lubricant for that plastic/silicone whatever it is and the springs (to stop or minimize the squeaking)?

Mine don't squeak at all. When you put them in did you have them inflated to max pressure before you settled the vehicle weight back on them? Maybe try pumping them back up to the max pressure (35psi I think?) and then go back down 5 at a time, drive around, let them settle in.
