Timbrens. Not sure who makes them. A lot of Plow truck guys have them.

might not hold to the weight. Not heard of anything like your wanting. How about Ride Rite? I know someone makes air bag systems.

Because of how the weight is transfered with the IFS of the HD, these are pretty much useless though. Much cheaper to just let the air out in the rear, IMO.

ya i know they are expensive but it what i want to do. 540 is what i found them for. worht every penny in the long run i think. you also have tire cup control becasue of the ability to raise and lower the height and angle of the tire
