Yes, stock trailing arms, cnothced frame, and some slam spec. bags... Need some good airline, but it has every thing else....

Quick Hijack! Do you need rear shocks with air bags on the rear? Dumb question I'm sure, but I don't know.

It would work fine w/one exception: the single control. By that I mean you'll have up/down capability of both bags together vs. separate. Controlling bags together will 'work', but you get air shift or compression of one bag as the vehicle leans in a corner forcing the other bag to extend which exaggerates the leaning issue.

A dual control panel would work better (one paddle controls L; one paddle controls R). This would eliminate the leaning issue.

Buy a second single controller or a dual controller.

I know ART sells a dual-needle/single gauge dual pnuematic controller. I'm not sure if SuicideDoors offers one but it's worth checking out.
