I hope you set up your load valve for more power to the rear brakes. So many people running around with air bags on the rear and the load valve not set makes me laugh when they come in and complain about warped rotors on the front and not being able to pull up from high speed. People put heavy loads on the back and then hitch up the van, level it out with air bags and wonder why they don't stop.
If the coils hold as much or more weight than a leaf pack why does it need polyair bags in the coils?? Ive done this myself n had polyairs in n wasnt happy so i got dobbinson to custom build me coils to hold the weight. So i didn have to use polyairs....... I wouldnt do it again i will do a full airbag rear suspension set up then u can have it to what ever height n load you desire. Thats my thoughts.
How much is the truck before the modifications and how much are all the modifications? Those mirrors are the same as the tow mirrors on my 2010 Chevrolet 2500 HD. I added Blistine shocks all around with 5000 pound rear air springs. I have a customer aluminum body with two storage boxes, a 75 gallon auxiliary diesel fuel tank. It has a 20,000 pound B&W companion 5th wheel hitch that's recessed into the frame, it can be removed and a Goose neck hitch installed. I tow a 34 foot 5th wheel with an empty weight of 6700 pounds and a gross weight of about 10500 pounds. This gives me a safety margin of about 7000 pounds. The engine is stock it pulls so strong I haven't felt the need to make any modifications to it. It is extremely fast for a 3/4 ton truck. I love your show been watching what I can for three years or so. Is there any way to get the full series in the US?
G'day Louis -- You'll want to get an account over at unleashed.tv/registration Overseas folks will be able to watch along with the aussies this series! Cheers
Not trying to be annoying, just putting out the different videos from the different trips to check on the progress. Plus we're passing the time until the next series. We could put everything out at once, but then people complain that there's nothing to watch until the show starts. Cheers
Filming this as if Simon isn't there, but instead he is actually the cameraman. Good job!
Like your build video's by the way. Great show!
Simon in the background with no shirt on Ahahah good on you mate

that suspension looks more expensive than my entire 4x4
you go on about coils being stronger then leafs then chuck some airbags in the thing haha
coil all the way

The sleeve on your air bag requires adjustment

You didn't mention the airbags in the coils...
Coils plus airbags don’t you mean
Those Coils are way too far Inboard..look how massive the springs are to compensate.
one power ball..
haha yeh eating a sanga whilst filming
its about $6500 for that suspension upgrade not worth it
i get the impression they split it into these very short annoying videos just to get more clicks :( just give us the rest plz
