Whose airbags are recommended and, how's about a pic or two of the front chassis mounting points?

I fitted a MAD kit.

They only fit on the rear between the chassis and leaf spring.

Marcle for me - the cheapest that are still good quality. Dunlop bags - Around £400 ish.

Rear only, simple fitting.

Marcle here as well actually, yes just on back axle, pop off the bumps stops and bolt the brackets on top and bottom of bags, either some push fitting type hoses off to fill valves or in Steve's case (proper fitments)

Marcle for me too.. good service, easy to fit between chassis and rear axle . . . routed inflation pipes to the gauge/valve situated on a bracket on the rear towbar.

(air springs) now with more yayage!

then ideally you need to trick it out to operate remotely as much for the hell of it as you can check from outside vehicle to make sure it doesn't crush anything on inflation

I did mess around with a regulator to constantly maintain a set pressure but I couldn't get a digital one to work without an iphone and gave up

as I don't like those,
