Hello chaps, I have been looking at some other suspension options for my current project. I am in the process of rebuilding a Defender 6x6 and have a need to be able to lower the vehicle to the bump stops. And possibly lifting the rear axle.

And rather than using Air bags for air suspension I have been searching for pneumatic Air ram systems but have not found a particular supplier that will be able to answer my questions....

I know Simon at X-Eng has toyed around with this kind of setup but have not been able to find the thread on here...

If anyone else has had experience I would be keen to hear how you got on.

From what I have seen they are damped internally so therefore dont need seperate shock absorbers.

Mate there's a six wheeled defender on Fleabay maybe worth messaging them seeing what solution they have?
 
Im sure Ive read about a defender with hydraulic suspension, we used to have some tanker trailers with this set upI think some of the yanks have that silly set ip and beg susp and thats hydraulics.
Im no expert but would be surprised if you could even get air cylinders/rams that could take that sort of grief long term.
Air suspension using air bags is tried and tested and works well.
