Well classes are out till June, the only problem was that my HD was approaited by one of the students. Luck would have it that I backed up the drive last week. No cad drawings were lost.

Anyway, my friend Tyler came through for me on the air bags.

Then I realized that I gave him the wrong measurement . So I had to do some modifications.

First the product supplied was what I asked for to within 0.004"

I took a trip to the local autozone, and was able to get an end section of hose material for the air bags. As I was compairing the assemblies with the 1:1 I noticed the slight bend in the bag assembly. I cut the new material a little long in case I need to shorten them later. Then I used a dremal fine burr to resize the inside. This worked out pretty good, as I was able to get the bend in the bag assembly.

Next I mounted the bag to the frame mount, and support arm. I used a 2-56 threaded rod and a nylock on the top. The bottom was secured by threading a bracket that is mounted to the support arm. The best part is that it gives me a way to adjust the height of the axle.

I am very happy with Tylers work, since I am a newbee. I can't understand why these bags are not on the other trucks on this great board.

Heres the pics
