Lifted 2001 Disco that occasionally pulls short distances at near max towing capacity.

Question being.
With Air bag helpers inside the rear coils, how do I deal the excess space created by a lifted truck that has longer coils to keep the airbags in contact even when not under load.

The air helpers are for the oem size rear coil.



Just seeing if anyone has found a easy method to deal with it? I assume a puck of somesort in the coil or even a non landrover specific part that fits better?

Any input is appreciated. Thanks

 

Check out DirtLifestyle on Youtube. He built a Discovery that has coil springs and airbags!

 

That kit will work, someone on here uses it. I have it bookmarked in case I need it in the future. I'm not sure I'd put much stock in anything from DirtLifestyle other than good fab practices...his geometry on that disco was seriously flawed. I haven't watched any of the vids since it sort of ran but didn't bc of his awful driveline set up lol

 

I have a 2 inch lift, will the same kit also work?

 

Im also sporting a 2 ish inch lift at the moment. Ordered the bags already so im about to find out whats involved to make it work. Ill update although it wont be for atleast a week.

 

thank you!

 

I have the 4121 air helper bags and I am wondering the same, since I want to upgrade my suspension from stock to 1.5" lift. The bags probably expand a bit but very likely not enough to fill the space completely. I thought about rubber blocks glued to the lower spring attachment. I might try these rubber pads: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124743932370 . They are 4" in diameter. What is the inside diameter of the spring?

 

Vendor just refunded saying the 4121 are no longer available.
Trying another source.
Maybe going another route with a air lift universal bag kit measured to fit the specific coils.

Happened upon a 3 inch HD Ome lift that sorta changed the game up moving forward now being 3" over stock instead of 2".
