Re: 4x4 with air bags?

SWEET!! I gotta do it!

More questions though...

I just noticed, (in your first pic of your last post), that the lower link sits pretty close to the botton of the axle tube. Did you do this for ground clearance?
I guess you would've had to lower the frame mounting points to keep the links parallel if you would've made the lower link farther from the axle.
Answering my own questions as I go I guess.

Second pic;
How much clearance beyween the tire and the bag. Between the tire and the links? What size tires are on there?
Looks like plenty of clearance but I was just curious.

Third pic;
How much clearance between the bag and the drag link? Again, it looks like it has plenty of room, I'm just trying to get a picture in my head of your setup at my +4 ride height.

Fourth and fifth pic;
I think I'm in lust!
This is the absolute best airbag thread I ever read!


I see you don't have a powerplant in it yet but do you forsee any issues with drive shafts when drop it all the way down or raise it up? I understand you're using the bags for ride quality, (as I hope to do), but I'm thinking is case of a "blow out" or broken line, etc.

I'm a PITA LOL
