I have king springs , bilstien shocks and air bags in the rear, very happy with the set up, make shure you get the right spring rate to suite your load and accessories.
I have a good idea regarding this and have been looking at the bilsiens too. Was on my ask list when purchasing. Thanks. What bag did you go.
Thanks happygu. Thought i read previously this is achievable. Thinkin Mickey Ts Atz.s. off subject slightly but will they fit no probs on my 17" rims
Koni's head office is in Vermont Melbourne if that helps, where they do supply and install .... try progressive rate coils in the rear for a softer unladen ride
Thanks Mic. I didnt know that so thats a bonus for sure. Progressive rate noted. Great info Cheers Dave
I've got the Koni 88 series shocks all around. They are a soft shock, almost a luxury feel, but very soft on the rebound. I recently had them adjusted up slightly firmer at Fulcrum's after a lot of mucking around to get it to a better feel for what I wanted. While mucking around doing this, I drove the owners Patrol that was fitted with Bilstein's. They were also excellent, and just that bit firmer again. Build quality on both appears similar and both could be fully re-built if needed.
Since adjusting mine up a little I am a lot happier with the ride.
Also have airbags in the rear for ride height.
My 2c only....
I use the firestone bags, I did a 5500km trip through the Simpson Desert and surrounding area in September with this set up, and some 4 wheeling in the hills near home, and they have been great.
Since adjusting mine up a little I am a lot happier with the ride. Thanks for that. Are they a matter of a turn at a time or more or less for adjustment.
I run King 2" lifted HD fronts, and 300kg const load in rear with koni 82 series shocks and Airbags. Front has Bullbar/winch, rear has gas tank. Use for towing 2-2.5t boat, works well. Comfortable. Not sure if the bags are actually required with the correct rear spring selection.
