Guys.. Response I got today regarding Foamcell Pro in the kakadu verbatim
"If the shock absorbers have any form of connectivity attached, it is not recommended to replace them, as the vehicle will give error codes.
Also, the rear airbags are not suited to extended travel shocks and may be damaged.
So we would not recommend it.
The KDSS system in some model Prado`s is handled in the same manner as the Landcruiser 200 series"
There is a fitment instruction on the Ironman4x4 website for KDSS in a 200 series which this refers

I have airbag spacers to deal with over extension of airbags.

I was shopping around yesterday for a good suspension upgrade and one of my local dealer gave me a quote on EFS XTR big bore 45 mm for a price of $1500 fitted (incl alignment and balance).
After speaking to an EFS rep, I was informed that they do not make EFS XTR in 45 mm and the XTR that they have only comes in 40 mm which they do not fit on a Prado 150.
I am thinking of moving my plans forward in relation to upgrading my suspension but I am currently undecided on which one to go for.

I got a quote today for an Old Man Emu Kit (EK2103C2) 200 - 400kg load, 50mm lift, for approx $1,700 fitted. This kit is using the Nitro Charger Sport shocks.
I also got a kit today for an Ironman Kit (TOY065CKP) with 0 - 300kg load, 45mm lift, for approx $1,700 fitted. This kit is using the Foam cell Pro shocks.
I am leaning towards the Ironman Foam Cell Pro system at this stage.
I also have a pair of standard airbags in the rear at the moment. The mechanic says that they maybe able to source a spacer, so these airbags can continue to be used, otherwise, I could just buy another pair of bags, to suit the longer spring.
I am looking to have it fitted before Easter.

Spoke to every suspension place in town and surprisingly they all sell the best suspension for the Prado..
Still have no idea what to get. Read the suspension forums and still none the wiser...

Hi All
I have picked up the Prado tonight with the Ironman Foam Cell Pro lift kit with airbags in the rear.
The guys that sold and fitted it, reckon it went in well, with no issues, and test drove beautifully.
I drove it home, only a couple kms, and it felt a lot more solid, with less body roll and a bit higher (surprise , surprise...)
We are going camping and 4x4ing over Easter, so very keen to give it a test and report back.
I will also get the measurements pre and post fitment from Repco.
Cheers
Pog
