Re: Airbags with a straight axle

That setup seems to be well made and thought out, I'm still not a fan of it. Do you realize the stress put on those 4 bolts in that axle? Not to mention the added stress on the top flange of that straight axle. Not for me. I'll stick with U-bolts and leaves.

Re: Airbags with a straight axle

I dropped mine with mono leafs and a 3" dropped axle. It sits just right and the ride is pretty damn decent. Everyone asks what clip I have up front and then have a look of shock on their face when they take a look under it and see a beam
