Don't remember anyone fitting a Hilux with it Tony (yet)

Which bit doesn't look right though?

Anything like the Marcle kit, that wasn't plug'N'play either sadly,
The top brackets u bolts weren't nearly long enough and my garagist had to wel on some threaded bar to extend them long enough to reach over chassis rail enough,

It's not a load bearing component of suspension and the brackets essentially only locate the air springs in place remember

I originally ordered the 8" but there was a supply issue as they are superseding them with the 6".

I asked for the specification of each and the 6" are well upto the job and are what they recommend.

The kit has turned up and it looks a very simple fit with everything included.

I'll try and get a pic up.
