Re: 4x4 with air bags?

The work looks great man...... A couple of things that I would recommend doing. First, on your front four bar bracket that drops down from the frame. I would gusset that in front and behind the bracket to help disperse a little of that load. Second is your airspring mounts. Keep an eye on them. By offsetting the airspring to one side you may be subjecting them to a side load hich will end up trying to twist the bar. That would result in you blowing bushings out a lot quicker. Last but not least, you may want to either move those airsprings in a little more ( its hard to tell from the pictures ) but it still looks like it is all most at a 1:1 ratio with the axle. At that ratio a double convoluted airspring will not ride that great. That is where you would want a longer tapered sleeve like a 9100. Props though man... the fab work looks great and dont take any of this wrong... I am only trying to help you out and the only thing I can go off of is the pictures.
