Yes I noticed that advert and a little alarm bell went off saying that I thought peeps had fitted Airlift 2000 to their Bongos so wots the 1000 model then (cant be arsed to start searching - its late and I'm lazy :lol: )

PS - Psssssst - ere, ere - have you glanced to the left and noticed anything yet. I've slipped quietly past the 11k mark. C'mon Kirsty, keep up at the back :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't know how Matt Savage does them for that price - I paid around that to get them direct from the states even when the dollar was weak :? ............and then I got caught for import duty :(

I certainly wouldn't fit them in "sideways" as in the pic.
I've got Airlift 1000 in mine and they're the best thing I've done to the Bongo apart from fit an eberspacher heater 8)

Totally adjustable ride control - I've removed a row of seats so its lighter than stock but with the van laden and towing just pump in a few extra psi and the effect is amazing - NO bottoming out on the bumpstops, even on the "switchback" A87 over the peatbogs to Portree on Skye when pressing on for the ferry.................

C'mon Kirsty - get yer finger out - a bit less posting and you'll have time to fit yours............ :wink:
