Air ride idea

I am thinking of building a system like Kelderman's 4 link of the 3rd gen trucks. What do ya'll think about this system? I am a metal fab. and welder by trade so that is not a problem. Just looking for opinions. This will be going on the '85 W350 crew.

Thanks

AndyT

Here is some pics of the Kelderman's.
