[VAC] Re: air lift compressor

["phil patterson" <patermichael@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tow my 61 Tradewind with a Ford Crown Vic that has air suspension for the 
rear end. There are no springs in the back. just air bags, much like the big 
semi's use. The system has worked very well. I have accumulated some of the 
pieces with the idea of replacing the leaf springs on my A/S (single axle 
24ft) with air suspension. It would give a smoother ride, It could be raised 
for clearance, such as steep driveways,ect. Also it would make it easier to 
level up, by putting more pressure in one side. The biggest problem would be 
keeping the axle positioned. The new F2-350 with the rear air suspension 
option appears to have just the leaf spring that connects between the 
shackles. The rest of the load is carried by the air bags. Any ideas on 
converting an A/S would be appreciated.  Phil
