one of these

four of these

If i were you I would add at least another compressor and tank
or
an engine driven compressor [which would be fairly on a rangy]

why?   cos while those bags will give you reasonable lift [around 9"] the size/weight of the rangy will mean you will deplete one 5 gall tank in around two up/down cycles.

the more volume of air you can store the better but you need to be carefull that you match the comp output to the storage capacity or you could have a comp running for longer than recomended at a time.

[i wont bother saying abaout using jacks and safe conditions................... but be carefull as always, a Range is HEAVY]

take out the coil springs and shocks.
remove the rear height compensator.
set the hieght at the minimum you want.
measure the distance between the top and bottom mounting points of the coils.
Make some mounts [top hat shaped out of steel tube and plate] for the top and bottom of the bag so that when fully compressed the bag and mounts fit in that space.
measure the mounting distance of the shock in this position
and
with the bags fully inflated.
source some shocks that will suit the travel you have [+ a bit either end if poss].

mount your comp/tanks/valves/etc
pipe it all up.

test it out checking that nothing fouls at any height or any steering position.

have fun.



[a few months later you WILL want to get more compressors [unless you started with EDC] and more tanks and bigger hoses and bigger valves.................. no matter what you start with you WILL want more when you realise how much fun it is  :twisted: ]

Yep! I found out to my cost ,that I shouldve gone bigger/better from the outset! I replaced everything apart from the bags within 3 months! So-o-o much better now!
Grew up with Hot Rods,Ed Roth and Gasser Wars.
Grew into Low &Slow,Sleds, and 2-doors

yes. that basic system gives you the ability to upgrade tanks/compressors without having to chanage anything else. The basic thing is capable of doing fast/good moves, extra tanks and comps mean you can do the moves for longer.

The 4.2ltr TVR Rangie is standard on airbags you can buy the bags for pennys!

alot of people fit the bags to alot of landys it helps to stop the body roll!
