Rear Air Bag Suspension

Who's running a full air bag suspension in the rear? I'm thinking about doing this. I'd love to do a triangulated 4 link but the fuel tank is in the way. I'm thinking some good stout radius arms will work fine with some 8" bags.

I have been thinking about that too, although from what I am finding mono-leafs with tall air bags seems to be the hot ticket for ride quality and load capacity. I want to do it on all four. My kidney's hurt!

Kelderman makes a air suspension for our trucks. They do not eliminate the leaf springs though

A place called 4wheelonline shows a kit by keldermen that replaces the springs. But it's $3500! That's way out of my budget. I think I found some Firestone bags that will work. As I mentioned before I'm going to build my own arms and brackets. I was just wondering if anyone had their truck set up like this and how they did it.
