DZZippy Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I like the square tubing idea. As mentioned, this would work for air bag replacement. In looking at the Roadmaster chassis, I’m curious how people have been placing jack stands specifically to tackle trailer arm bushings. This seams a bit tricky. I’m assuming the square tubing will not work for this as the vehicle weight would have to be off of the suspension / H frame. Thoughts? As always, thanks for all the insight and knowledge of everyone here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get back to the toy barn I will take pictures of them with measurements. Seam to work great... Michael - reading your response, you state you made 8ea. So do you use 1 per airbag? I have 10 airbags, so want to ensure I make the proper amount? Thanks! Bart from VA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Powell Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Yes the last 2 of your 8 air bags are the tag axle so I feel if you can raise your tag axle and drive it around a corner them stationary you don't need to block it... This is only my opinion I may be wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
