flex suspension + airbags
Posted: Wed Aug 08, 2007 9:09 pm
Bit of a curly one here, anybody done this?
I'm about to replace my springs on my 81 lux with a soft set that a mate with a haultech/superior mod hilux races. At present I have a set of snake racing shackles and will be replacing with drops. We're setting it up for flex, also TJM are putting on a towbar and I've made a 10" drop tougne for towing as its 7" above stock, for towing the boat (19',heavy).
I dont have the luxury of having a good offroader and a tow vehicle, so my question is setting up a removable airbag suspension package with soft springs with + no load springs for when I need to tow?
Thinking along the line of airbags on solid struts attatched to bolt on chassis mounts and quick-dissconect lower mounts next to shock mounts?
Any ideas, photos or knowledge appreciated. Cheers.
