Had them on our previous 100 series TD but only inflated them to 15psi (from the non loaded 5psi) when the van hooked up... just took the edge off the sharpness of the ride & from the LCOOL forum a fair number are towing the big weight vans - in excess of 3T - & most seem to have the ARB/OME setups - with airbags. Having said that, I agree regarding the proper use of these...admin wrote:Please be aware of over using them airbags.
I know of more than one that has bent their 4X4's in half.
The chassis is designed to be 'supported' in two strategic places & if you put too much pressure in the bags then rather that 2 or 3 pressure points you just get one at the airbag.
Our friend had to get his straightened a bit & welded a couple of plates on just to get home.
It's a common problem in the outback on rough roads.

He is going to get himself into a lot of trouble if he is not careful- we have long memories eh Lesley 

Time is passing too quickly so live life to the full with your spouse/partner while you still have she/he by your side.

Lesley, we still have to get 3 new tyres for Patrol but that is about all- he is just putting 3 new belts under the bonnet to-day.
Trying ( with not much luck) to convince him that we need both 9kg gas bottles in van. Either that, so that I can warm our kitchen area, with stove, to get dressed in am, or genny started for heater on cold winter morning across the Great Central Road.
First night will probably be Yelarbon (favourite spot) which is half way down to daughter's where we will have to spend a few days.
You're not meaning in the living area, are you?
