Dropouts for bellows airbag setup
Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2007 5:16 pm
Hi all
I was thinking about running a set of the bellows type airbags with a crossover pipe and in cab pressure adjustment on the rear of my troopy after it gets uted.
In an effort to sort out good flex and still intermittently carry loads i was considering removing a fair few of the springs leaving the main and wrap and maybe another leaf so that they act like trailing arms and support a bit of the weight, and letting bellow air bags support the majority of the weight. When i need to flex up i was going to run the bags at a lower pressure with the crossover pipe, and let the droop side air bag drop out from the chassis (can't seem to find airbags that have any real amount of travel length and compression)
Can this be done or would the dropped out airbag flop around too much? do you think it would work? would it work with a normal set of polyairs?
