Hello, this is my project

i think what he is saying is the long shaft below the bag has a suport holding it straight so the bag wont move. you can kinda see it in the first pic.

i see whats goin on, that bag shouldnt go anywhere. except up and down

with liner bearings there's no way that shaft will move side ways ,or the bag roll over.  the only thing i see that could make them work better is if there was a second brace at the bearing sleeve from another angle. just so the sleeve don't twist.  But man that's a awesome idear, i may just steel that dude

In the first pick you can see what he is talking about.  There is a bent tube that goes around the bag to make sure the bag doesnt move side to side.   I dont really understand why you went through all the extra work to do that though.  You should use one of the Univeral Air strut bags with a coilover shock.  I think that would look cool and it would do the same thing you are trying to do but you would have an integrated shock and it would look better in my opinion.   But its your truck so do what you want.  Welcome to the site.  It can be very helpful

thanks for all the comments and feedback. I kinda thought someone would use this idea or a variation of it if I started a thread, have fun with it, it was tedious. I looked into the Universal air bag strut but was turned off  by the 5" of travel and the 1/4 port on the bag. It does look cool though. I post a pick later that shows the shock mounted and all.

now put that entire rear supension on a jeep and youd be good to go...   looks good, like to see more pics 

Not enough side to side for me

Diggin the lower links! Pre-runner style ftw!

Looks like some killer work bro. Keep up the progress pics.

Youve mixed the two things i absolutley love.Mini trucks and Prerunners.The lower links are so sick.Almost looks ready to throw some bfg's on it and huck some shit.All kidding aside badass truck.
