anyone ever made a ""bagged"" minitruck? if so how did u go about making the links and notching the frame. ive seen very few pics online but im sure some of u have done it.

also what could u use for air bags?

If anyone wants to simulate an airbag suspension, in liu of springs, just go to your local plumbing store and buy the "O" rings of the appropriate size for your build. These are the "rings" that go into faucets. Just stack 'em and glue them into place.

the orings are the best idea. you can get all different sizes at like lowes or home depot. i just use styrene to make the plates for the top and bottom. also you can use styrene in tube form to do the notch. i usually build my whole frame to get the stock floor body drop.

I like the o-ring idea. I would consider using a piece of stryene tubing or rod and drop them over the diameter. The tube would give you structural strength and something to attach it to the axle or chassis.
