We had a airbag failure during last 4wd escapade which seemed to be a leak in one of the bags (one side went slowly down when car was off), The biggest problem was that the compressor would not work and the high/low function was faulty. Luckily I found a 'hack' for this by jacking up one side then the other and turning the car on and off again and this seemed to reset possibly an angle sensor and also the cpu so also the compressor kicked in and h/l functions too.
I have been meaning to replace the bags with either replacements or normal springs (as Toyota recommend) but as I've not been off road, not got round to it, of course now its gone again and no 'hack' will work (unless someone can show me where this 'angle sensor' is and maybe I can give it a bang or something!
Been quoted around $700 to replace with standard springs/coils So I need to know if I am replacing for springs/coils, should I go for a lift kit or standard height and will standard height affect awkward beach 4wd driving in anyway?
Thanks
