    What stops the frame-truck,etc from coming down when all air is lost from air bags. Doesn't seem there's anything internal in the air bags too stop it. Why I ask have a flat bed with aluminum fenders$$$ mounted underneath and when all air is lost the tires hit fenders. Thanks just 1/2" would be good.

    No bump stop-wish there was. Also nothing internal in the air bag. Only thing left must be some thing in the front of that leaf spring that limits its travel where it pivots. ?????

    Maybe you need to add bumpstops, or change the airbags to something the same size, but with an internal stop.
