Slipperys 2.8 T/D Kakadu Build

[slipperyskakadu]

Normally, you fit the spring rate that matches the daily weight carried.

Some would fit assist airbags due to towing but if it sits just below level when towing, you could get away without assist airbags if the towing part is mainly bitumen and you don't need clearance because you will only go offroad once you unhook the trailer.

You won't need the OEM airbags anymore once you do the spring conversion.

Just gone pop again !!! Coils it is ... how do I get my hands on them ?

With the helper bags can that work with the on board compressor?

Slippery you have me worried now as I'm about to install the Bag's and carry over my MRR setup from my old car. Are you running the standard MRR shocks in the rear?

I have 2 part numbers available. 150ABMD or 150ABHD. It will depend on the weight at the rear that you normally carry. Heights would be approx 840mm.

Cost is $220/pair and it is an easy straight replacement because the springs have been designed to specifically suit the airbag mounts on the diff and chassis.

Would you say the heavy duty due to caravan load ?


I have drawers and fridge in their too...

Do I require the oem airbags?

What's the feedback like on the coil conversion?

Are helper airbags a option ?

Thanks heaps for your help !!! Really appreciate it !

^ Std Toyo bag are not ideal if your running a lift, you have to run pumped up hard all the time

Airbag man really need to take a better look at this, we have not had any dramas with our kit fingers crossed we don't.
They are firm on not using a shock with an open length greater than 625mm. as the bag can pop out. The std bags have retaining bolts not sure airbag man don't
The toyo bags also have a protective bag guard as well

What was airbag mans response for why this happened ?

Cheers for that Airbag Man are replacing the bag that keeps blowing. They have taken the part number of my dobinsons MRR shocker. I think that's the angle they might be going for. I did say to them they don't list suitable or non suitable gear which they agreed on....

AMTS if you read this... I think springs will be the most reliable option ? How much are they ? And are the modification easy ?

Do guys still run helper bags ?

I need a bit more height than the airbag Man can offer...

Do u have a 17" wheel to guard measurement for the conversion ?

Cheers n Thanks!!!!

Standard Toyota bags. Or talk to AMTS on some springs.

Apologies for late reply the forum has not been working properly not allowing me to post or log in sometimes.

Anyway seems to be perfect now.

I'm running 17s

The front has dropped those measurements were taken straight after springs installed. I will find some level ground and provide new measurements.

However have been less impressed with the airbag mans.

Without the caravan on no issues.

With a 180kg ball weight 2t van. The bag has popped off 4 times.

3 times I was close to home.

The last time 400km from home. Thankfully the caravan park owner had a good Jack n stands I could use.

I'm considering a coil conversion. Airbag Man are replacing the airbag and I"ll see what happens from there....


Coil conversion seems pretty straight forward.

In regards to the front I've installed a diff drop kit and c.v angles are fine...

Front seems high are you running 17s or 18s

Our kak 2" lift has 18s and the front sits 800mm both L and R
The rear is 830 L and 835 R

I think 30mm rake is good as it will maintain that reguadless of load. The only thing is when loaded it's good to scroll low then back to normal hight as it will bring it back to that set hight, not sure what the self levelling kicks in at but it's greater than 20mm I know that

[slipperyskakadu]

Could you do the rear as well? Did you install them yourself or paysome one?

Paid.
