When you order, call support and get an additional set of spacers. Otherwise the bags sit on the hex bolt heads, which have quite sharp edges. I drilled holes into the spacers matching the bolt locations and glued them on there. This way the bags don't push on the bolt heads. I inflate them to max pressure before I leave and that is good for at least 2 weeks.
Not much difference here. Keep in mind you have to use real miles to calculate MPG, larger tires will make your odometer slower thus entering a false number into your calculation which if used will make mpg appear to be lower than it is.
The only think I had to figure out on my install was I had to unbolt the front driveshaft. I used the bottle jack method but the driveshaft was pushing against a bar under there. Once I disconnected the driveshaft everything went smooth. It took 4 hours to do it alone.
just now realized this... was it hard to disconnect? I got the front left done but the springs are a pain I gave up for the night trying to get the front right spring in with coil compressors.
I got a 2002 disco and put heavy Britt part coils and shocks all around. They ride great and not too rough on the roads . You’ll appreciate the heavy’s In the bush...
I’ve had Old Man Emu mediums before and heavy is the way to go.
I got both 19” Lr3 rims and 16’s and they are all good for clearance . 215 85 16 and 235 85 16’s ... they’ll all good for clearance
I was about to ask about this actually.
On an Pathfinder I had some time ago, I installed airbags that slid down the middle of the coil spring to assist with load.
They worked awesome and are cheap.
I think this answers my question of going with MED 2" Lift Kit and add this airbags to help with the heavy rides. I bet it'll be 100% smoother than the HD.
I have an ARB front bumper, Rear steel bumper, RTT, and kids... I heard HD is really rough on the freeway even with all this loads.
i just want the best ride with all my gears since I always have my family with me on trips.
