bag a straight axel

You could use a 30s chevy front axel, they have the plates made in for leaf springs to mount, bolt a bag mount to the psring plate and set the bag straight up and down to the frame, use a set hairpins and batwings, with a wishbone, or make one of those panhard bars with the cross in the middle i cant think of the name of that it is a panhard but it has somebodys name ?? come on brain, HEY a ( watts link ) boy im tired, just check out a early 30s chevy axel on speedway, you will see what im talking about, hope this helps, on my next project my sons want to build a pick up, we may have to get togeather and set up air on all 4 corners.

im really good with visual aids, since I do not know all of the correct termanology, lol. I would really like ot use the ford front axle I have but Im not too sure if it will set it low enough.

W/ air ride, you can make anything set low enough... Its all in your bag placement...
