Re: Air bags on the rear suspension?

I like the idea. I used to own an 83 GMC Camper Special that was used occasionally for pulling a trailer. Other than that it was just a daily driver. I thought about going to 1/2 ton springs and bag over axle. Then if I needed to tow I would air up the bags to help with the load.
I never got around to it. I am sure that there are a lot of other options that one could go with.

There are several Air-over-Leaf set-ups that are bolt-on friendly. No need to do a more complicated bag over axle install here. Keep it simple w/a lighter duty leaf pack & A-O-L set-up.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
