How much do you think the whole setup cost? I've always had airbags in the back of my head for down the road.
 
Can you create a parts list with brands and numbers?

I'm not going to go to that level, but seeing some of the places you've been and what you've done are pretty remarkable.
 
I like the video.

Got mine on bags too, paddle valves instead of electric control also mounted on the shifter base/console. I have dual needle gauges one for front and for rear. Im running the boss triple bags (2503's I think) about 10" travel by air, and then a bit more with the weight of the axle pulling down. How much travel you getting with those bags? They look good.

Very cool setup. How is the ride compared to coils?

Same travel, about 25-28 centimeters

In Russia bags 80usd*4, manifold 100usd, air fittings about 50usd, air gauges 40usd, buttons, wires, bolts about 20 usd. Whole setup 530-550usd

Cool, good to know of other options.

I realize you have a 9.5” front axle up front at that other fella brought it up, as well as 3 link and steering booster mounted up high. Some easy to miss details.

did you just move the front axle forward or did you cut a lot of metal out of the back of the fender for clearance? I assume you moved the rear axle back a few inches as well and cut out some body panels.

One thing I been thinking about doing on mine is adding a solenoid valve with 2 regulator and 4 check valves to a switch to auto fill to ride height. I drop mine to fit it in the garage and then am always adjusting it a bit for ride height after Ieave, so it would auto fill and then I can manually adjust later.

nice rig.

After few years I start to build my dream car. It names “extreme vacation”, comfortable off road car on 42 inches.

Front axle made from rear semi floated hzj81.
