rear bag setup pics? (47-59)

let's see some pics!!! i am trying to plan out my rear bag system.

ideally, i would like to mount the bags on top of the axle under the frame to leave room for the 3-link and panhard bar. i am not trying to lay frame, just to have a low ride height, with the ability to pump up the bags for towing capacity

From my past experiences with air bags mounting the bags behind the axle gives a better ride and you still have room for panhard bar or upper links for triangulated four link.

Re: rear bag setup pics?

that's what i have come up with so far. behind and under (maybe) but mounted under the frame rails to preserve clearance.

does anybody know if you can you mount the bags upside down, so the valves are on the bottom?

I think this will get a better response in the suspension forum....
