air suspension: to buy or not to buy?
I have seen and heard of a couple of guy that has replaced their normal suspension with air suspension. Is this a good choice? Where would be the best place to get and install it in the Cape Town area and what would it cost ?
Thanks in advance

Een van die beste mods wat ek op my wa gedoen het. Doen dit self. Is nie moeilik nie.

Ek sukkel nog om te verstaan hoe die air helpers 'n onderstel kan buig?

Re: air suspension: to buy or not to buy?
Dis nie so erg die air helpers as die pakmaniere nie... as jy baie gewig agter die as laai word baie force uitge-oefen op die pivot point waar die airbag vaskom aan die chassis... Die chassis is nie op daardie punt ontwerp om baie force te hanteer nie... Dis hoe ek dit verstaan...pietpetoors wrote:Ek sukkel nog om te verstaan hoe die air helpers 'n onderstel kan buig?

Het iemand dit al gesien gebeur? Ek weet van die een foto wat die rondte doen. IFS met 'n moerse groot camper op. Maar nêrens wys dit dat die betrokke voertuig helpers ingehad het nie. Ek dink dit sal met of sonder helpers gebuig het.
Klink vir my soos 'n bang maak storie.
In elk geval myne werk lekker. Ek dink Johannes van die see het ook 'n stel in en sy bakkie travel baie en is nog nie krom of skeef nie.

Hi,
Baie dankie vir die kommentaar sover. JohanW, wat het die helpers jou gekos?
Ek dink ook dat dit meer met gewig plasing te doen het as helpers. Weereens baie dankie
