Just a shame they’re so expensive in the uk compared to the US.
Around the 4K mark the ones I’ve looked at.
Defo gota do bags but can’t afford to spend £4K am doing it on a budget but also properly.
So far I’ve gotten AIRLIFT pump and bags for front but with the rears I’m making use of the 2005 XJ6 rear bags! I spoken with a few Jag Techs on the Jag FB groups and all said it wont work as the bags need to be used only with the Jag system lol its just a bag, not a magical item.
So I bought 2 second hand ones as new are a lot more than I have and eVay had 2 for £160.
I’ve recerse engineered the bags, they arrived inflated, have a one way valve on which I’ve managed to easiky remove and now I’m going to machine up some new fittings to accept my 1/4” lines.
I’ve been measuring too, the bags only have short 3”+ of travel which at first I thouhht wasn’t much, but after measuring Rusty I have 3” fron eim to lip of arch, also my rear chassis is only 3”+ off the ground!
So 3” of rear travel is all I need.
Fronts just need to fabricate some top mounting points and mount switches/gauges/lines/tanks/pump lol
Waiting on some items off of eBay then I’ll make a start.
