Main reason is I tow a boat and I'd have issues reversing the boat up the driveway, and the car sits so much better on the road while towing.

Part number etc would be good.I've been told that the BF xr ute doesnt have a actual polyair product for it besides the bellows, but I want the sleeved system just trying to find someone whose had them or has them so I can get the part number.

I got it for $1,000 installed from Pedders Gateshead. He could also cut me a deal for an on board compressor if I wanted but I decided to test it out first.If you don't want to call Pedders I could prolly ring up and find out myself. But they only sell one kit for lowered utes in the bellow style so you can't go wrong. Makes a hell of a difference though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treay if you can get the part number of the pedders type ones and post that it would be appreciated. Im in NZ so makes it a little bit harder but sure I will get there eventually.
