i like it..but what comes to mind is this,,,the axle is pivoting in the middle of the frame, but the steering rack is pivoting out near the edge of the frame...this is conflicting arcs as the suspension is working....there is a system commercially available that splits the dropped axle..i think Fatmans has it it is a remake of a very old system that race cars used and the steering has almost identical suspension travel arcs..great job on the build hope it works for you...
looks like you are going to have tow and camber problems... very cool idea tho! i thought about splitting the axle myself but thought it would be to much problems
@doubletapm4 Yeah, Its modefied now so that's not a problem anymore =) The airbags also got home built roll plates now so the bag is straight all the time.
Chopt51 is right the bags need to be straight when deflated. When rolling...doesn't matter if they're bent. The top bag mount will pop that bag over time.
Get roll plates from airlift or jam bump stops to limit the drop.
Well since its 3cm's til the bottom then all air is released it really no problem. You cant drive it like in the lowest position anyway. When its in ride mode the bag is perfectly straight.

whats the bump steer like? would have to be pretty bad considering where the suspension pivots compared to the steering rack wouldnt it?

you want the bag to be straight when at ride height. it rides best like this.
