anyone on the forum know of a way to set up airbag suspension on a 4x4?? i would like to keep my truck 4wd... comes in handy on snow days. and it would be something different if i decide to bring it to a show sometime.
im mostly concerned about how to setup the front end.. i have a lot of ideas to completely build my truck and have it show worthy one of these days.. while still being a daily driver.
i will try to make a drawing of the idea i had for it... not sure how it would work with the front driveline... i will look tomorrow.
and if not. im still curious what the best setup is for bagging the front end? pics??

okay i got down under the luv and looked it over today. not sure if i will be able to set up bags and keep my 4wd usable. if i am it wont be very practical.
has anyone put 4 wheel coilover springs and a independent rear suspension setup on a luv?
4 wheel inde suspension would be great!
i know i have seen one other luv on the site that had IRS. maybe rear bags and front coils? that sounds a lot simpler to me and more streetable.

i want something as one of a kind as possible, if i start taking it to shows which i see as a good possibility once i get it cleaned up a little bit more and throw some paint at it.
i want it to stand out from the "bagged mini-truck"... "v8 mini-truck"... "this and that mini truck".... blah blah. soo many people do the exact same thing. the luv is a pretty one of a kind little truck to begin with i wanna keep mine one of a kind without going totally overboard.

if anyone has any ideas, tips, PICS, opinions or a link to something that may help me out with some ideas??
also... anyone know of any shows coming to the oregon/wa area this summer i should try heading to?? seattle-tacoma area, portland, pretty much anywhere within a couple hundred miles of Portland.
