hey dude
air bags arnt really well known in australia compared to the USA etc but there are a few mobs around that do do them have you looked at the kit that creative engineering offer?? work out exy but its all there ready for a bus! ya other option is to go to one of the mobs and get it done!!
i also heard on the downlow that the chief from indian is bagging a bus so he might be able to answer a few of ya questions!!
im saving for a setup for my bay dual cab at the moment but im planning chassis scrapping lowerness so need to tub the chassis a hell of alot!!
anyway good luck with your travels and keep me posted on how you go!!
cheers

it aint just cool its aircool'd
I plan on doing mine too 63 s/c, but in a few years when i get back from the US. To get it as low as the one in your pic you really should raise everything in the rear, torsion housing and all. Plenty of cutting up front too! Check out Kustom Coach Werks to see the one they did recently, lot of work! If staying swing axle you can use all the lower parts airkewld use for swing axle bug and just make top bag brackets. If doing this, buy some rose joints and solid aluminium bar and make it yourself, way cheaper, then get bags from glenn at air ride in Vic.
Front I would use the shocks KCW have with the bag component built into the shock. It is not a std air shock they are purpose built and seem to work well. You would need to make a solid bar to replace the torsion springs in the front beam too so the bags aren't working against them...
Liked your ute, saw it at the Nats this year, sweet bike too!
