    Great video mate, about to get Dobinsons kit on Prado, was recommended 50mm lift front & rear with Airbag Man airbags in rear, as load will vary a lot from school runs, to fully loaded with fuel/drawers/50L fridge etc in rear, to this plus trailer with 1300kg ATM, go on lots of corrugated roads, occasional technical track. They suggested the bags to allow levelling out when rear-heavy. What do think of after-market airbags?Thinking now I might ask for 40mm instead of 50mm at front. Keep up the great work, love the vids.

    Great advice Anthony!. Luckily i did exactly what you recommended when i did my 40mm lift. May I ask a question? When i drive on sharp rapid corrugations, i hear a knocking sound from somewhere in the front. Could it be the shocks bottoming out? What are the symptoms of bottoming out the shocks? Many thanks!

    I have installed 30mm wheel spacers after a 2 inch suspension lift on Prado.
    The wheels are still stock.
    I have 3 options.
    Should I get -12 offset and remove spacers?
    Or
    Keep spacers with stock wheels
    Or
    Get -12 offset and let the wheel spacers be there..

    To be honest the Prado and the 200 are just too low for me, raising it over 2 inches causes a lot of geometrical issues. If you want to go higher than 3 inches better just sell it and buy a solid axle.

    Great info as normal. Some Touaregs (and others) have air bags that allow raising and lowering the vehicle on the fly, sometimes by several inches. Now I don't believe the exotic European vehicles are appropriate for the outback, but front and rear air-bag aftermarket offerings would be great for Japanese 4x4's - but they have to be tough and they have to be appropriately installed with strengthening plates etc. so they don't stuff the chassis. In addition they would need to be autolevelling, regardless of weight distribution and therefore raise or lower the vehicle correctly and to appropriate limits for type of suspension and its safe articulation range. Just my thoughts on the matter.
