I have an idea, wondering if anyone has done it before.
I'm thinking of adding a second set of shock mounts to the rear axle (leaf springs, rancho shocks existing) to run a pair of air shocks, the kind that you can inflate and deflate.
Then I'd wire a panel to inflate and deflate either side independently.
I have a few reasons for wanting this:
- load assist while towing
- level the truck on uneven ground for sleeping in the bed
- counter off-camber situations by maxing out the downhill shock
Is that last point even feasible? Would that work?
Anyone used air shocks on a crawler with leaf springs before?
While innovative automotive creativity is always fascinating.....
I don't think your idea is a good one.
