Re: Airbags with a straight axle

I haven't seen it done, but I don't see why it won't work. He will need to make some control arms to mount the axle to the frame and define it's range of motion. Not a lot differnt than modern 4x4 hd trucks like f250's except with bags instead of could springs. Will also need something to control side to side motion like a panhard or watts link. Again, not hard to do.
