Air Bags and ride quality

[bubblerboy64]

Hi Gardner, When crawling around under the bus I noticed what I
thought at the time was a mounting point on the rear axil that looked
like it had some remnants of a air bag on it. Didn't pay too much
attention to it but I'll have to look again. Just wondering if it
could be done and how much I would gain and what the damages would
be. I need to get a ride in a couple different BB's to see what I am
missing (or not). The previous owner used some parts off a newer FC
when he did his modifications. I thought he said it was a 1978 but
it may not have been.
