On Topic Fox air shock vs air bag

[dezerts10]

Would a fox air shock be able to be used as a load leveler type of device in place of an air bag?

Thought is to have something that travels with the suspension but can be pumped up if a load was being hauled.

This would be on a vehicle with a link type suspension.

Yes, Steve Wolcott's blazer that we used to mark the SCORE courses had AS on the Hemet arms. Get a bunch of weight in there and pump them up, worked well.

My personal feelings is that that would have been better with a slapper set-up. More of a ratio increase from ride height to bump than with them mounted to the arm.

Slapper set up?

Bottom of shock not attached to trailing arm. It's attached to it's own little A-arm that locates the bottom of the shock on the trailing arm. This lets you run a 10" shock directly over the axle but still have full droop #'s.

On a buggy, but you get the idea.
