wont airbagging the front create havock with the wheel camber?
 thus scrubbing out the edges of the tyres?
i think if u really  want to airbag a beddy then u might need to build a chassis like merlin has and add from there.

mty, with a standard setup you're probably right
with THIS or THESE setups you have the ability to adjust the camber/caster

That is only if you drive with it dropped. I plan to drive with the bags inflated and deflate when parked.

My wife is a midget, this is the reason for the airbags.  :D :D :D

It will be like driving a bedford with modern day air suspension as opposed to past day leaf spings and shocks,
I think it will improve the ride significantly.
