Its there..just cant see it in the pics...It will have a 4-link. with a rolling sleeve air bag,but not the small ones. My red dually I just posted pics of over in the 88-98 thread, has a rolling sleeve bag off of a semi trailer. They arent huge like some may think.They are around 8.5-9 inch in diameter and get around 10-11 lift. Either that or I have a pair of 8503 firestone double convoluted bags that are rated at 3600lbs. a piece.I have a 9' in the rear for now but have been thinking I'd like to try a 9.25" sterling rear axle out of a newer ford super crew truck.They have disc brakes with a internal parking brake and 13" rotors factory.The reason for the over kill bags/axle setup is mainly because I want to use this truck to pull a trailer. I know the 9" will be strong enough because it has proven itself over the years but I was just thinking out side the box..
