OK I have and idea to modify my 01 with a air bag suspension. If i were to remove all leaves in the pack but the two mains and install the airbags in a over spring configuration. With the addition of torque bars the lentgh of the drivline would i need to instal a panhard bar to help center the axle and would i have a axle wrap issue with the set up even using torque rods. Just an idea i am toying with for my truck when i return to germany and get to play under the hood again. Might improve the ride and still keep the load bearing ability of the truck.

 

Why not just ditch the leafs and do a four or five link rear?

 

Ok i have done a few rear suspensions on lighter trucks with coil-overs and old truck style radius arms and a panhard bar was just trying to go an easier route as to the lack of garage time in germany to build it up with a 4 or 5 link system. so the basic idea is didtch all the springs in the pack but the two mains and then air-bag it and build up some torque bars to prevent axle wrap and i should be able to do it with a minimum amount of down dime and no playing with suspension geomerty formulas. just a lil idea since towing and wt capacity have gone out the window in germany.
