Interesting, but wouldn't the suspension
travel be SEVERELY limited using this?

Maybe carry one for an emergency spare
in the even of an on-the-road failure of
an "original" bag?

I think the engineers that designed the dual bag and quadra bag setups had a center support plate in there for a reason! This one looks like any sideward load is trying to rip the bag apart.

Don't think it is a grammer problem.

leak tested before installed.
$600.00 both sides, installed free.

clever but really doesn't look like much travel.

Is "severely" the correct term?

I was thinking the same.

It looks like it has enough travel for "travel," but wouldn't provide enough travel to do any leveling at the camp site.

They do make a "triple convoluted" air-bag that could be used on something like this design. (Using slightly shorter "spacers.") MAYBE the triple bag would provide enough travel to be usable.

I hope the bag they picked has internal bump stops.
