1 ton 'bags

I've been scullin' on the idea of air baggin' the rear of my '86 GMC narrow,134 in W/Base, dually. Airride offers a bolt on kit that looks OK, but since I do a lot of towing with this rig, it looks a little light. I would favor a watts link rather than the panhard bar setup. I want the option of a "boulevard" ride around town but not lose any of the dually stability with the 32' tag or 40' gooseneck on. ( I don't need to "lay frame" or dump it to park at the tastee-freeze, this one is never gonna be a show truck. LOL) The stock springs, with the short wheelbase, are chippin' my teeth. Another side benifit of losin' the leaf springs is that I could trim the flatbed about 18 inches shorter for a more "bobtail" look and not have to park in the far corner of the wallmart lot on a barley pop run...
Any body done this ,or seen it done? as usual, any help, silly ideas, or just snart azz coments are appreciated. let the bench racin begin... Thanks, RED
