I had always planned to replace my airbags with longer items once they were due for replacement. Mine developed a slow leak and now it's time to upgrade.
Not yet, been too busy. The current airbags hold air for about 3 days before they deflate, but I will have to get them replaced before I go off road. As Andrew discovered, flexing a damaged airbag is not recommended.

Installed my airbags this afternoon. From whoa to go it probably took 2.5-3hrs without rushing. Having said that, I have removed the airbags before. Like Andrew, I'm unsure how the swaybar spacers are supposed to be applied. Their documentation doesn't mention it, so I might give them a call on Tuesday to see if they can shed some light.. But overall I'm pretty happy with the result and the fitup.

He was talking about increasing actual shock length in in that post. The swaybar spacers will allow the swaybar to sit at an angle closer to factory spec after the lift is applied. With your Bilsteins it probably won't increase suspension down travel, but it may give you better flex.

Which is what i've found my Grande has been lacking Peter. Trips down tracks such as Ormeau has found the rear wheels in the air a little too easy, so if I can even get a little more flex in the rear it can't be a bad thing...
Basically house bound this weekend with the crappy weather Qld is currently experiencing, so I might bung them in tomorrow...
2004 Grande V6 4.0, ARB colour coded bar, Magnum 9k winch, dual battery, HD King springs/Bilstein F4-BE5-A712-MO (front), Airbag Man extended airbags/OME Sport 150R shocks (rear), OziOffroad diff drop, BFG KM2s, Hella 225s, ARB CKMA12 compressor, Rhino-Rack HD bars x3/alloy tray, Sunseeker II awning, Prodigy, TX3340, cargo barrier, 50L water tank with 12v pump, rear storage system, Waeco 60L with slide, rear door table, rear camp light.
Installed the extended sway bar spacer today. Only to half an hour or so to do. but I forgot to do some before and after measurements of the flex. (Doh). I imagine I could do this by simply jacking up the rear chassis on the side of the vehicle and raise until the wheel leaves tera firma?
