Carps Member 61 Member For: 17y 8m 11d Gender: Male Location: Caloundra, QLD Posted 23/01/08 10:43 PM Share Posted 23/01/08 10:43 PM Apparently there's an issue with the rear suspension setup on the BAs that makes airbagging a bit difficult (read: very expensive). It's not as simple as the Expensive Daewoo utes. I'm not a technical genius, but I know this was something I would LOVE to do but after doing a bit of reading figured it might be one of those way into the future mods...Do a search, you'll find what you need.

I got a price about 3 years ago but they had to fabricate new front end components as the orignal set up is too narrow for the bags.

That was 3 years ago though when no one had done it. Maybe things have changed.
