Rayvern

Wonder if they have one for Transit. They charge £840 for the kit and £500 for fitting as I understand Rear and Front. So for just over €2000 you have an air suspension. Yet I wonder if adaptions need to be made for the Transit and much they will charge for that. As well up to how many kg will the system be able to support? Could imagine that a T350 is not really suitable.

They did Catdaddy's and said they would never do another. Cost over £3000 I think.

WOW that is quite a bit over there advertised price.

How about converting a Range Rover one, then you can raise the suspension or lower it as you want (although lowering can only be done in the Park stand of auto....)
