Yep to the airbags... Picked up a set of heavy duty 30mm lift Lovell's springs and shocks complete with suitable Polyair airbags from W.A. Suspensions in Ossie Park.
Show and Shine - Show us your tow vehicle set up!
- Thread starter Moto Moto
- Start date
Starcraft 20.62-3 and Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. (With ORII and Quadralift).
(Previous Expanda owner of five years so I feel welcome here!).
Taken this week as day one of our first real road trip with the new van.
2675kg ATM. A beautiful thing!
(Edited because I love the photo with the red dirt!)

Well this is the currant rig gu patrol with a 2.8td in her running a gq pump 18pound 2.5 exhaust 4inch with airbags and 33's manual locking hubs plus other bits and pieces which won't help it tow any better
Like a dream air bags and a wdh she average around 12 to 15 lt no complaints here
With figures like that i wouldn't complain either. Looks great too mate!
Just remembered I didn't put up the pic of the prado and new expanda after setting up the new suspension. Managed to get car and van to within +/- 3mm from original measurements 
Who needs a WDH System

I was thinking of "B U G G A"
but they wouldnt let me.......

The hotel on wheels with WDH and the Air Bags, she handles like a dream behind the Colorado off road and on.
First we did the tenting thing.
Then we purchased the Jayco swan.
Then the 1st Expanda was a 16 footer on road model.
Next we upgraded to the 16 with the outback lift plus lots of extras.
Finally for the 3rd Expanda 20.63-1OB with the slide out and were more than happy with this van and would thoroughly recommend one of these.

It was a lot heaver than the 16 footer that's for sure.
With the van tyres on 20psi and the Colorado's on 15psi it's not too bad in a straight line. Reversing is fun though but the Colorado handled it pretty well.
That spot on the beach is really hairy to get into because there is not a lot of room to turn around on the beach there. But after a hour of digging and jack knifing the van to get in there and level it's well worth it for 2 weeks on the beach.
