We do not systematically provide Nimbus pumps with suspension purchases, as they are perfectly adjusted for your vehicle straight from the factory. The suspensions are pre-charged with nitrogen at the exact pressure level for ideal performance for YOUR 4x4. If you decide to use a high-pressure pump for adjustments, you can do so without issues, as our suspensions can be adjusted by connecting any sufficiently powerful pump via a Shrader valve, which has become a popular international standard found in all countries worldwide.

Our suspensions have no significant impact on tire wear. However, we recommend clients who have just installed our suspension kits perform a control operation and correction of the vehicle's alignment, as well as a tire balancing. This recommendation also applies when Nimbus suspensions are installed on a vehicle without height modification.

The suspensions are designed to endure extreme cold and warm conditions. Some adjustments might be needed between summer and winter in countries like Canada due to large temperature gaps. Also, the suspensions are set up specifically for each client; if you tell us you plan to deal with these extreme conditions most of the year, we can make adjustments accordingly. The suspensions can operate between -100°C and +280°C, which should be far enough for human use. Keep in mind that the Nimbus will warm up very quickly after a few hundred meters, so they won’t stay at -40°C or colder anyway.

The kit contents depend on what you have ordered and your vehicle. Generally, the contents include four suspensions, spacers and other bolts needed for assembly, gloves and a QR code leading to a video with all installation instructions.

The kit may also contain optional products, such as:

• Springs, if we deemed it necessary to replace them based on your vehicle's existing configuration, or if you decided to purchase new ones with your order.

• A Nimbus high-pressure pump specifically designed for our suspensions, if you chose to purchase it. Note that most high-pressure manual pumps on the market can be used to change the pressure of our suspensions, provided they are reliable, reach high enough pressures, and have a precise gauge.

• Anti-sway straps if you decided to purchase them, as we always recommend them.

• Some cool Nimbus merch.

Several factors impact the price of Nimbus suspensions for your 4x4. Firstly, oleo-pneumatic technology is much more expensive to produce than traditional technologies. Each component we use costs significantly than because the run-of-the-mill suspensions. The high cost of production is reflected in the final product price.

However, upon closer examination, Nimbus suspensions are high-performance suspensions. When compared to equivalent products on the market, they are similarly priced.

It is also important to note that although suspensions are considered wear parts that should be regularly changed, Nimbus suspensions can be rebuilt indefinitely, thus having a lifespan identical to your 4x4 (which is also indestructible), ensuring you will not need to spend more money to replace them.

In the long run, using Nimbus suspensions is likely a much better financial investment for your 4x4 than using traditional suspensions, and it is also an opportunity to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of your suspensions.

The short answer is that you don't need to. It is very important to note that the suspensions you receive are nitrogen-filled at the factory, with the ideal level of pressure relative to the information you provided about your 4x4. Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the pressure when they are first installed.

Note that the first time you connect the pump (not provided with the suspensions) to adjust the pressure, air will start to mix with and gradually replace the nitrogen, bringing some unnecessary moisture and greater sensitivity to altitude and extreme temperatures. Don't worry, the Nimbus will work just fine; they have been designed for that.

The nitrogen contained in the suspensions will not evolve over time. This means that you do not need to refill or deflate the suspensions unless you make a very significant change in weight at the front or rear of the vehicle, such as adding a living cell or an extra tank. We consider a change significant from a weight variation of 250kg - let's say 500 lbs - or more.

To perform maintenance on the suspensions, they must be sent back to the Nimbus factory in Saint-Gaudens (France) or to one of our authorized partners. Contact us so we can guide you to the best solution in your case. Generally, we plan five working days to perform the revision of a set of suspensions, excluding transport.

Our combined suspensions will work with any tire size as long as it is suitable for your brand and model.

The short answer is no, but contact us for more details if you're looking to adjust your ride height.

Our suspensions are bolt-on and require no modification of the original vehicle's attachments or other elements. This is not applicable if the vehicle has been modified beyond what the manufacturer had studied, but this is a topic we will discuss with you at the time of your order, for personalization.

Your Nimbus suspensions are specifically designed and manufactured for your vehicle as it was presented to us during their production. If you replace the current springs - whether those you had kept from the original or those we provided you at the time of purchase - with other springs of different stiffness or length, you can alter the functioning of your Nimbus suspensions. If you wish to change springs while your 4x4 is equipped with Nimbus suspension, we invite you to contact our technical team by phone or email. We will discuss your project and ensure that your choice does not have a significant negative impact. This service is free.

When a lot of weight is added, whether at the front or rear of a 4x4, it changes its behavior in terms of comfort, efficiency, and safety. Nimbus suspensions allow you to change the spring stiffness, with very fine and almost infinite adjustment options. Simply remove some pressurized air from the suspensions or add more, depending on the result you want to achieve. A vehicle equipped with Nimbus suspensions can therefore vary its weight significantly without affecting its comfort and performance once the Nimbus suspension pressure is adjusted. And anyway, feel free to reach out to us anytime if needed, our engineering team will guide with the best settings.

We designed our oleo-pneumatic suspensions for Land Rover Defender, Toyota Land Cruiser, Ineos Grenadier and other vehicles primarily for raids and overlanding. The main benefit of Nimbus suspensions is the ability to adjust their comfort based on the variation in load inherent in adding typical equipment for this practice, such as a rooftop tent, a solar energy production system, a kitchen, a shower system, spare mechanical parts, and all the necessary tools for getting out of difficult situations.

By increasing the air pressure in the suspensions, you will restore the 4x4's original comfort and performance as it had before adding all this weight. Similarly, upon returning from a long trip, you can unload your 4x4 of all these additional elements necessary during the trip, thus removing a lot of weight. By adjusting the pressure inside the suspensions, the lightened vehicle will regain an optimal level of comfort and performance.

Unless we are talking about a 4x4 purely dedicated to crossing, in which case we can produce oleo-pneumatic suspensions with a different and specialized architecture, the operation of Nimbus suspensions is not altered by the type of surface on which the vehicle travels. Whether it is on the road, sandy paths, the Champs Elysées in Paris or rocky trails, from the smoothest to the most rugged, Nimbus suspensions will offer consistently good shock absorption and rebound quality. You can certainly use these suspensions for the 4x4 you drive every day for personal and professional purposes but also take your vehicle on much more difficult conditions on the weekends.

Yes, it is appropriate to readjust the pressure when the vehicle undergoes a very significant weight change (let's say 250 kg or 500 lbs), whether increasing or decreasing. To do this, you can use the Nimbus high-pressure pump to add pressure if you have added weight and remove pressure if you have removed weight. To find out the ideal recommended pressure level based on the make and model, and its load, a table of pressures recommended by our engineers is provided at the time of purchase. If you are not sure, please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.

It depends on the make and model of your vehicle.

For example, if you have a Land Rover Defender, for our standard set, the travel for the front is 225 mm and 230 mm for the back. The +5 cm version is 250 mm for the front and 255 for the back.
