Just remember that two options available, standard suspension and raised which is for around 50mm. More than that and the air helpers will be to short. Also note that the air helpers do marginally limit your articulation on coils sprung suspension and a little more on leaf spring suspension.

It is a great option and I had great results when I still had near standard suspension. I would recommend to all for over landing, and all you need to watch the air pressure.
As ek nou die 4.8 coils insit watter een van die twee opsies is die korekte een as ek lugsakke vervang?? - Tx
Hey you two I am still looking for an answer :oldtimer:


Hi Dirk,

No if they are standard 4.8 coils there should not be a problem . Raised suspension is for the 50 mm lift. Any more than that and you cannot fit air helpers.

Ok just to be sure, the 4.8 coils is about a 20mm increase from the standard GQ coils (= to current Iron Man currently in there), but I should order the STANDARD air helpers :oldtimer:
