Phil,
In the meantime it is updated a bit.
Last year on the way home from a Kustom Kulture Festival in Germany, I blew the two rear airbags. My own fault... I drove too low, the bags touched the driveshafts when suspension travelled up and down.
I had to drive 120 without rearsuspension to my home....Luckily I made my system so, that I always have an inch between rockers and diff when fully aired out
I had changed the angle which the vertical plates make, also made a sort of upright edge on the footplate for the bag. This prevents the bag to roll of the footplate and touch the driveshaft.
This does the trick, haven’t had any problem with hitting the bag from the driveshaft again.
I will try and make some pics of this, I couldn’t find it here?
Later on this day, I put them here.
