let me know what you think
I've looked into this on my L series. I'm going to make a plate that mounts from the swing arm closer to the diff so that the air bag is located in line with the chassis rail above. I might have to re-route some lines associated with the fuel tank but I'm ok with that.
The air bags I've got to play with have been donated from Tweety and are like these:
I've got to make up a top and bottom bracket to fit it in then run the air lines to a suitable point to air up and down as needed. I think it should be a sweet setup once completed!

ahh air bags would be great. what would you do for a compressor? i have seen a few mates turn there aircon pumps into air compressors that work quite well and can turn them on and off on the run, one mate has a old 20L gas bottle under his back seat for a storage tank.. works great and i hear its easy to do.

You don't need an on-board compressor for air bags. You use a valve setup like a tyre to pump each airbag up to the same pressure once the suspension is raised to the desire level.
If you have a set of air bags that are continually being adjusted you'll need an onboard compressor. But that's not the case for us.

It's something I'd like to do. Just search for endless air. Problem for me is lack of room!

MY mate owns a 92 liberty gx with air bags all round, adjustable.
came out stock, maybe could merge that system ?
