where should i install the air bags ???

Hello together,

i am still a bit confused about right installation of my rear suspension

I am going to install a triangulated 4link kit thats for sure .....but i have no clue where is the right position for the air bags.....

The first solution was about to install a triple air bag behind the axle.
with separate air bag mounts welded on the axle......

But i am not sure if i get a smooth ride with this construction.....
I think i have to pump up the bag until 80 - 100 psi to get the driving heigt..

Do you think it would be better to install a double bag directly on the lower bar.....infront of the axle......so maybe i will get the right height without pumping the bag up until 100 psi !!!!! ????


Sorry for my poor english ......i am from Germany Munich

Hope you can help me with my dilemma

Thx
Achim

Achim-

You will better served with a tapered sleeve style bag mounted either directly above the rear axle or right behind.
