We have an elddis 175 prestidge 2017 motorhome

[Microlight]

We are thinking of putting air shocks compressor pump with switch to dashboard needs to lift 2 to 3 ins.any help or advice would be great please.

 

[Two on Tour]

We have and Elddis Autoquest 175 and I fitted semi-air to the rear suspension with an onboard compressor and I fitted the gauges and controls in the cubby hole just above the drivers side fuses location.
I think you will struggle to find airbags that will give you 2" to 3" of lift, why do you need that amount of lift ?

If I pump ours up to about 5 bar then it raises about 30mm to 35mm at the wheel arch which will be more at the end of the rear overhang of the van.
I'll pop out to our van later and get some true figures for you as to the lift at the rear of our van from normal running to fully pumped up.

Look at Sumo Shock assistors they lifted my PVC by 3.5 ins, but I don’t know if they would fit your van

The problem we had with our Elddis 175 is that it sits nose down, so raising the rear by 3.5" would exaggerate the problem even more, which is why I fitted the Sumo's to the front springs to bring us more in level.

Hi Microlight, been out to get you some measurements now the rain has stopped here.

I measured from the same point each time :-

I deflate my airbags to 1 bar if the van is not going to be used anytime soon, and this measure is 418mm.

I normaly drive at about 2.5 bar, and this measure is 440mm

At 5 bar the rear springs are extended about as far as they will go, and I doubt any more pressure in the airbags will gain anything, and the measure is 480mm

So your looking at gaining about 40mm from your normal running height if you fit semi-air to the rear of your van, but of course fitting semi-air to the rear will greataly improve the quality of van comfort and handling.

Thankyou so much for your reply we will certainly look into this did you fit it yourself and also was it a complete kit with compressor and may we ask were you got it from as living on the Isle of Man we would probably have to send away for them

I fitted ours myself 6 years ago from a kit I bought from an eBay seller complete with an air compressor which I installed in the space under the end of the sofa next to the kitchen.
It's a pretty easy job and took less than a day including running the pipework and cable to the dash to have the controls to hand.

I checked, and the seller I bought mine from is still selling the complete kits for the Peugeot Boxer. The price has gone up a bit from when I bought my kit and is now £455 delivered.
Although the seller is based in Slovenia, the kit was delivered in a week.
