Coil-Rite airbags for standard suspension 2014 150 GXL V6.

Hi all,
sorry if this is posted somewhere but I can't find the info for a recent 150 GXL V6.
I'm looking to get some Firestone Coil-Rite airbags for my 150 with standard suspension.
From what I can tell on the 120 threads people use the 4135 part # (http://www.truckspring.com/products/...ear__4135.aspx).
Can anyone confirm please that this suits the 150 as well ?
I'm looking to get these from the US to save some $$.

Thanks,
Paul

Do the 120 and 150 (both standard suspension from factory, both GXL) have the same springs ? any difference for diesel vs V6 ?
If so, i'll assume the airbags people have used on 120's will work on 150's.

Thanks !

Not sure but with the dollar at 70c it would be cheaper to get them here. The only cost $250 here, $550 fitted.

not quite cheaper, but maybe close enough that the ease of return outweighs the savings.
where are they available at $250 ?

I had Coil-rite (Firestone) air bags fitted to a standard GXL Prado 150 a couple of months ago by a local 4wd shop (Pride Auto access) for a bit over $450. The shop sourced them from the airbag man (www.airbagman.com.au). The kit was the CR5035 standard Coil Helper Kit which includes all the (quite a few) necessary bits. Not sure but I think the kit does sell for around $250. It was about 2 hrs labour and required dismantling of springs.

I've spoken to airbagman and they want $295 for the kit. would be nice to get the $250 that people are mentioning.

I apologise for the misinformation. I checked the invoice and the GST inclusive price for the kit was $295 and $200 for installation.
BTW I am very pleased with their performance. Cures the problem I was having with my Tvan's rather high tow ball weight - now dead level and absolutely rock solid on all surfaces - using 20psi.

No worries Cityslicker, I appreciate you posting. Good to know you are happy with them.
I guess I just missed the boat getting them from the US with a good exchange rate.

Can these be used in lieu of new springs/shocks for when I get my bullbar installed or should I just hold out?

These can only be used in the rear. If you're happy with the ride after bullbar and just want a cheap fix a small strut top spacer may be ok, should only need a 4mm or so thick one.

Where do you get these spacers from ?

[AussieAndy Find all posts View Profile Close AussieAndy]

I think AJ120 made some for a while, he may still do them. Otherwise eBay is a good option.

Edit- Just looked on eBay, apparently no one is selling thin strut spacers, the smallest on there at the moment are 10mm. These require longer studs in the top plate which makes the kit more expensive. Might not be so viable.......
