A couple of members wanted me to post up some pictures of my air suspension on my truck- I just got done building the large triangular brackets for the front of the lower links to mount to, figured i'd throw up some pictures. Enjoy.

Thanks. I'm no master fabricator i just get these ideas in my head and put them on steel and this is what i come up with.

It rides much better than stock, but due to having the majority of the weight still on the leaf-sprung front axle, i plan on doing something similar to the front end to achieve the ride quality i'm after. Hook up to a trailer and its where it really shows. It is firm, not bouncy, and maintains any ride height i want

I still need to look into a rear swaybar, and limiting straps. You cant put this on a lift without securing the axle up to the frame

Looks very nice!
I think I would add a rear axle truss to mount your panhard bar to instead of welding it to the housing like that, ive seen alot of guys with offroad trucks rip welds off the castings.
What kind of compressor are you using?
