So when I load all my 5hit in my car for trippin away... fridge... recovery... fuel water... etc etc..... the rear end sits right down. I've got some decent Kings in there and a tidy bodlift.... but I was thinking maybe I could get some adjustable air shocks??? I used to use them years ago on old holdens.
I just want to be able to get the arse back off the ground when loaded... and... retain as much rear articulation as possible..
Anyone setup any Suby with anything like this???
Here's the car if you want a squiz......

runnin air adjustables in 4x4 MY coupe... next size up from holden, with 2"lft gives a nice ride height and lots of adjustment... makes leveling the trailer out nice n easy too...

Cheers mate....
I think 250 Kings in the rear will be the go.... Might need a kidney belt for long unloaded trips though

You could find some electronically controlled air struts from an old Lib but everyone says they are absolute poo anyway. Should be lots available for cheap due to people replacing them with normal struts.
