Step up on bumper and see how much bounce you get


Same thing would happen with a trailer as you walk around inside.....boing boing boing

Not the right application.

Not if you had shocks installed too. I have a Lincoln Mark VII that has; from the factory; a air spring instead of coil springs in each corner. It is no more bouncy then a coil spring car. There is a 12 volt pump under the hood, a air dryer, a sensor for ride height at each corner, a valve built into the spring, and a computer in the trunk. It keeps the car level no matter how much weight I add to it.

To the OP. You can still purchase the Lincoln Mark VII springs with the valve built in. They may be exactly what you are looking for. You could get rid of the leaf springs and add a air spring for each wheel. You would have to add a trailing arm to keep the axle in place and shocks but, with a little thought it could be done. There is a company that modifies this type of system for cars. That way the car can be lowered at a car show and then raised up for going down rough roads. A little internet searching should find the company.
