    I'll be keen on reading about it because I don't see the point in fitting airbags inside the springs instead of straight airbag suspension. Pat

    My setup (rear only) cost me ~$400 all up.

    Sold the rights so not likely, he has moved on to other things now.

    Anyone know of someone who sells a 3 axle controller?

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Is this what you mean? (It's bolt on for a Jeep, but the idea should be the same)

    Cheers,
    No that is a 3 mode system for 2 axles (4X4) I'm looking for a 3 mode system for 3 axles (6X6) with manual over ride or programmable to allow the rear 2 axles to load share by connecting each side's bags together when off road effectively making a selectable 2 and 3 axle system.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Personally, I would use a 4x4/2 axle system, with the rear pairs of wheels on the same side permanently connected. I cannot see any downsides to doing it this way???

    I agree with Ben, pairing the rear bags on each side would work well as they are close together, and would probobly help the rear articulation over rocks etc, the other option is to run something like the accuair for rears only and go manual on fronts, or run dual accuairs, one for rears and one for fronts but it would cost you a fortune.
