Air bags and E&P jacks.

[Vic]

Please can anyone help/advise me.
Fiat camper car chassis uprated to 4000kg via Airbags.
Are E&P hydraulic Jack's compatible with this set up or could they cause problems with the airbag mountings?
I have only had the jacks on an Alko chassis.
Thanks in advance,
Vic

We have E&P levellers and VB air assist on rear axle on our Adria Matrix 670DC. Uprated from 3500kg to 3850kg.

Never had any issues with either.

Hope this helps you.

IF by airbags you mean the air assist bags on the rear instead of the bump stops, once the air assist bags are fitted, it's always advised that owners jack below the rear axle, not via the jacking points on the rear van bodywork.

If one jacks on the bodywork and the axle drops too far, the air assist bellows on mine are secured at the top and can lift from the lower contact (or so I've been told but never tried to see if true?)

Thank you for the relpies. Just to clarify, the jacks mentioned are the fitted leveling rams type, not portable maintenance trolley or bottle jacks.

I think most understood that from your first post.
I don't think E&P do portable jacks do they?

If they did, they would be really really expensive.
