This, as he mentioned, it is more expensive, it would possibly cause clearance issues with other components, and it would cause bump steer since the axle would move straight up and down, but the steering would move in an arc still because of the drag link. Ideally you want the same angle and length on the panhard and the draglink to avoid this.
I plan on putting HE7 airbag w 4 link suspension on the front with factory ride heights. The air bag is 7" wide at inflation. Clearance that I have is 11.5" tire to frame (11" if using wider tires) I believe it will still clear if I go with a standard panhard arm. Thanks for the info.
Cool project. Put up some pictures of it while putting it together or when its done.
If you havent, search out the air ride projects from member Me2. Maybe you can get some ideas based on what he uses for bags to get the best ride possible. Some of his info is on the army and I think some is here.
