Rear (not over the axle) Air Bag
From : fmb
Q: i saw a dodge 3500 with a rear air bag which was located at the rear of the springs not over the axle. i spoke with the owner who tows a 5th and he said it was the smoothest ride with or without the trailer he ever had. he stood on the bumper and jumped up/down to show how much it moved with just his weight 175# from poor guesser. i dont remember the manufacturer and probably wont ever see the guy again. ive spent lots of time dags with no luck. anybody know of any setup like this fmb north mexico -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .
