I have seen several individuals setup air-ride suspension on the rear of bobbed deuces by using a 4 link or Freightliner truck suspension parts. What about the front? Has anyone had success with bagging the front end?
I know that Volvo and also Freigtliner has used front bags between the main spring leaf and the frame. Past experience tells me that over-the-road big trucks that use these types of suspensions are spongey and facilitate a lot of body roll (definitely not something one would look forward to on a vehicle with as high of a center of gravity as a deuce rolling on 53" tall rubber).
I'm getting ready to bob my '71 and plan to utilize Freightliner rear suspension parts as I work for a transportation company that has it's own shop, and it just happens to be a Freightliner dealer as well. An economical vendor for supplying a set of tires / wheels to single out with would be a great help as well! Planning to run 46" to 53" tall rubber. THANK YOU!
Any thoughts on this would be greatly welcomed and appreciated. Thank you!
