    Question Opinions on cruiser 100 fix suspension

    Hi Everyone
    Started researching some after market ideas to level/lift the cruiser up when towing a bigger boat or trailer.
    Definately don't want the fuss of a hayman reece kit.
    Has anyone got airbags inside coils, or
    stronger better shocks that have done the job for them?
    and does your vehicle still wallow a bit when not loaded?
    Thanks in advance

    We had poly air bags fitted to my dads Nissan Patrol for towing a caravan as it was saging in the bum... The oldies didn't want to have a hard ride when not loaded but wanted a level rig when towing....

    The poly air bags were the best option for them they were cheap (under $500 fitted)

    They are adjustable to various load weights

    They allow you a nice smooth ride if that is what you want.

    I know a few people who have them now and they all rave about them.

    cheers

    you will need some extra springs OR some adjustable air bags/shocks, plain old heavy shock absorbers will not help.

    If you are towing regularly, go with new supension AND airbag helpers. I have Polyairs in the 'lux and am very happy with them. There are other types out there but I couldn't help with those. As for suspension, the ARB kit using Old Man Emu gear is great. Gives you a bit of a lift and improves your on road handling as well as your offroad ability.
