if u put air bags in with two leafs in would this inprove handling? would it reduce articulation?

No and yes.

sierras need so little spring rate that if you removed enough leaves to allow the airbag to do much to support the weight of the car, you would have horrific axle wrap and poor handling because the axle would be poorly located by perhaps only one leaf.

Generally, sierras need 3 to 4 leaves to prevent axle wrap and correctly locate the axle. less than this and bent springs and destroyed unis are usually the result.

The amount of articulation you have is limited by shock length AND spring length. If you had enough time , you could overinflate diagonal bags to "force" articulation, but the amount of gear required to do it (fast compressor, hoses, tanks, solenoids etc and the slow response would make this unusable in the real world.

Just like coils, airbags need a link suspension to work.


Steve.

Can also pass gravity with the bags also like bentzooks rig.

Only when you fill them with helium. This also makes them inflate faster for lowrider style hops.
