Airbag Suspension

I've gotten a few requests for pictures of my airbagged suspension. I've got 20 pictures, and will be showing them five at a time, so bear with me. Most of the wheel shots are of the rear drivers wheel. Here goes.

I'll start with the trunk setup. Where the rear tire usually goes, there are now three batteries tied together to run the "upgraded" sound system. There's also a plug for running the truck on 110, but the convertor was shorting out the batteries and until I get it fixed, it's been pulled.

1) drivers side of trunk, with spare tire still in place
2) trunk with spare removed, but center section in place. Cross bar is revoved by undoing two bolts on cross member, then it lifts clear. You can see the air tank, porportioning valves and dual air compressors. All the airlines are hard copper piping. Very strong and stable. I know with this system I lose the trunk, but since I never had one before in a pcikup, I don't really miss it.
3) Closeup of porportioning valves. The round silver object poking through the trunk wall is where the 110 electrical plugs in. The other side is hidden behind a waterproof cover. Not in use at this time.
4) Cross bar for spare tire, showing cutout for airtank.
5) The trunk as is normally seen.

More pictures coming
