Anyone have airbags in the rear of their ute ?

This one whilst being expensive seems to be totally LEGAL as it doesn't remove the bump stop as most do.Also is mounted in the STRONGEST position ie the doubled,overlapped chassis bracket behind the bump stop.

Just want to level it up for towing etc

PS its model 4659,right down the bottom

So,how do you guy's actually carry anything remotely heavy in the back of your XR6 utes ? I weighed mine yesterday ( 1780 kg with alloy tray) and adding two ppl ,I'm left with a puny payload of only about 435 kg. Its a new vehicle here so haven't loaded anything yet but I know my other FG one tonner wouldn't take anything like a tonne.So I'm thinking that half of this payload would set an XR6 right down in the bum.Here's another link to the relatively new Firestone rolling sleeve airbags:

Anyone else ?

With all the on-line sellers of air bags you'd think every second vehicle had them......

They would be awesome in front struts,but expensive.

But I want to hear from Falcon Ute owners putting them on the leaf springs and if anyone has heard of cracked or damaged chassis using them.

Brands ? Thanks.

Also interested

A lot of sellers give vague answer when you ask if compatible with being lowered

but around 1K with controller is a lot just to jack up the back when towing once a month when air assist for IRS cars is fraction of price :(

This control system looks sweet, just a press of a button to pump up/down and makes sure they done go completely flat and includes compressor
