Just finished making my version of the Mark/Sully air bags and works like a champ I use to run around 60psi and now the auto travel setting is happy at 40psi. The only thing I ran to is that on the left side I have enough room to put my hand between the firestone bag and the fender well on the back of the bag but on the right there is zero clearance must not be hitting the well though, just took a hundred mile trip today and did not hear it scrapping once. I went over several speed tables going into the state park and you could tell the front suspension went over it but you wouldn't have known it was there with the feel from the rear. I digress, back to my original question is there a known issue with the fender wells or the bogies being a little different side to side. Thank you Mark and Sully for all your great photos and drawings. Skip

I been under there and have seen no sign of corrosion. I see no signs from the outside of wheels tilting. As far as I know it's never seen salted roads I'm the 3rd owner it's been in Florida its whole life but I will definitely look closer now.

The only thing that counts is the frame / ride height
