Anyone fitted air helpers to the rear of their defender tipper, if so, what brand should I go with please? 

 

Thanks

Air helper, erm you mean a spoiler on a landrover ?.

 

Me thinks you're not going to save anything on a moveable house brick.

What springs have you got at moment, 

I have a 130 and run brit part  heavy duty 21mm springs and now after 15 years of use have only just noticed they drop quicker when loading. 

I spoke to rst land rover a couple of weeks ago and they have used air helpers on a 130 turned into a mobile grill it was the only way they could get it to run level from side to side. 

Give them a ring and take to Richard.

Great, yet another part to fail on the long list.

 

If it's getting to be that much of a problem, you're probably already overweight and are going to get pulled by VOSA.

 

Using them for say the catering I can understand, but might be a time to go bigger.

Those ones you use purely with leaf springs I believe 

Air helpers go on the inside of the springs

Know a chap who had air assistance on his 4x4 truck (I want to say Isuzu but may be wrong) and took them off as the ride and ability to follow the level was too severely compromised.
