Air Bag suspension and WDH
Permalink  

The disco has airbag suspension and automatically levels itself to balance things out.
I know there is no need to fit the wdh bars because of this, my question is, does it hurt to have them fitted?
if not, do I fit the bars before or after levelling has occured?

Sorry guys, but you have it VERY wrong. You DO still need the WDH.

Air bags only LEVEL the vehicle.
The WDH DISTRIBUTES the mass. It transfers mass from the rear wheels to the front wheels. This is essential to maintain safe handling and control.
Fit the WDH and then adjust the level with the airbags, if necessary.

Cheers,
Peter

Thanks peter,
I have been using them but was told last time away we didn't need them. Did a bit of research on the net and just got myself confused.
had always intended to keep using them just wasn't sure how to set them up correctly, will try out your suggestion.
