This is a brand new air bag load assist kit to suit the rear of the following vehicles:
TOYOTA LANDCRUISER – 40, 45, 60, 75, 76, 78, 79 – ALL MODELS W/ LEAF SPRINGS
We have 2 height options for our LA01 kits:
Medium, LA01 (M) – 235mm (most common)
Tall, LA01 (L) – 270mm (for those running lift kits)
By selecting an “In-Cab Kit”, you will also be supplied with all the gear required to control the air in your bags from the inside of your vehicle, and you can option for us to supply a compressor for you too if you do not already have one installed. Pair your large in-cab kit with one of our air tanks if you wish to increase the capacity of your onboard air system.
The AAA leaf assist air bag kit replaces your bump stops and effectively becomes a bump stop conversion that can help you carry a load. When unloaded you want some air in the bags (10-15 psi) so you have some cushion or softness in the new bump stop effect. Then as you load up just add more air – what ever it takes to keep the vehicle level. The AAA kit is rated at 2.5t so that’s the bags being capable of lifting 2.5t of additional weight over the rear axle. Your real limit is your GVM and what’s safe and sensible, but know the bags are up for what ever your load might be.
The rubber in the bags is heavier than the rubber in the sidewalls of your tyres so they last for ever seeing there is no rubbing or moving parts as such. AAA kits come with a 10 year new for old warranty on all bags, brackets, airlines and valves.
Fitment of our LA01 is dead easy – the top bracket replaces the bump stop and re-uses the old bump stop bolts. The rear axle sits above the spring so loosen the U bolts and slide the lower bracket under the U-bolts. No cutting drilling or welding and just a normal set of spanners is all you need.
