Hydraulic \ Air Suspension

[drum]

Has anybody come accross any adjustable\automatic suspension rigs for defenders?

I'm sure I've seen one, and someone I was speaking to recently reckons one was at one of the recent shows.

Ogden Air make an air suspension kit

There is also a *very* nice kinetic suspension setup developed in Aus, but they wouldn't sell it as a kit... they were only looking for OEM stuff :-(

[drum]

Any details on either, all the links I can find for Ogden on the web are dead??

Is there something wrong with that axle, it looks to meet the wheel right at the top, not in the middle?
