What bag setup you using mate? My wagon is shocking for the tailshaft on the floor. Been considering airbags just to hold it up that little bit while it's being driven.

few leaves are left in and bags go over diff on some brackets, then a crossmember like this

is bolted to the chassis rails.

Or you may just need this

as mine was worn down to the bracket so im guessing yours would be too.

Thanks mate. And nah I don't use the centre bump stop cause its to close would be hitting 24/7 only run the outside ones.

Yea his work is top notch. I could never see myself having a problem with it unless hardware fails.
He really knows how things are going to work well and the best way to do it to suit your application.
Few more pics of underneath...

Nah exhaust just going back to how it was.
bags were about 2400 but he would probably charge more now that he knows how much work is in it. He had never done an XH before.
If i got a 2 piece tailshaft I would say it wouldn't be too far from the gound. But i need a job first!!!

Did some playing around with the ute today. FINALLY completed my interior.
I bit the bullet and vinyl died my door cards.
They came up really good.

Also cut out and fitted my splits for when I eventually get the 6s in the doors.

And put some underlay and carpet under my compressor to quiet it down a bit.
