    have you seen this http://offroadonly.com/products/suspension/airock/

    Its a really cool self leveling system that utilizes air pressure. I was at their shop and watched it in motion .....very cool!! I am thinking along these lines for my rig when i decide on an axle setup

    MC, Our pneumatic self leveling cab technology, is very similar to that, but we have our system's on a gaggle of our DOD rigs.
    Plus our system is good for 4", 8" and 12" (neutral position), is computer driven and are available for several different GVW's.

    Hey Guy's, OK, OK it looks like I'll be able to post some pictures soon, I have found some old hard copies of Chewy from when I first found / saved him at / from a salvage yard, 10 days later with the SOA on Dana 44's and 35's, then two years later with all four tire's off the ground getting it on up White Knuckle Hill at Brush Mountain, Altoona Pa. That part of Brush rises something like 1700 feet in about a 1/2 to 3/4's of a mile I think you'll like them.
    I'm going over to friends house tomorrow night to try and get them scanned. =D>

    Even found some from my old 1977 FJ55 Wagon with a Bowtie 454ci on a set of Currie Ford 9" axles and some old Armstrong TruTracks. Let's see just how many old fart's / timer are out there and remember those as being some of the tallest tire's available to us at that time, for you young ones that was just back in 1978 so now you can see just how far we have come.

    Wellll.... I had a set of 1 month old TruTracks on a 76 Ford F-250-long bed. Tried to run some Jeep trails with a pack of Californians (Terra del Sol) ... good thing one of them had on-board air and an extra package of tire plugs (and a LOT of patience) - I had 11 flats in one day from the catus spines and sticks poked into my tires!!

    Hey Guy's, This is the Infamous Chewy doing White Knuckle Hill on the Southeastern face of Brush Mountain, Altoona, PA at the Memorial Day Run of 1999.

    The slope of this hill is like a 2 to 1 rise, the PA Blue Stone varies in size from gravel and six inches to twelve to twenty-four inches, and some rocks are the size of a small automobile, you cannot walk up it, but you can crawl on your hands and knees up it.

    Chewy at this time has Dana 44's with 4.88's, Detroit Lockers, alloy shafts and disc brakes, and an AMC 390ci Short Deck motor, this is a month after the Big Skip. =D>

    As you can see there is nothing but air and dust under all four tires, I was the Trail Boss for this group that day, and was showing them how to make it up that portion of the hill when it was dry. =D>


    If you should get a picture and/or a Red X then just click on....
    Chewy & Com at the wheel, getting some air on White Knuckle Hill, Brush Mountian, Altoona Pa......





    Wheeee and away we go....... If you notice the looks of disbelief from a few of the other guy's from the group, that after watching Chewy and I they decided to take the go around in lieu of White Knuckle Hill.....

    One day I'll tell how it got that name from Jimi-Y.

    I said that it was a good one........ =D> =D> =D>
