I am working on a setup to install a single Firestone air bag in the center of my '85 rear axle. Putting in a center cross beam and bracket atop the axle to put the bag between. Air solenoids will be above the bag for inflation/deflation. Axle bracket will have a built in pivot to allow for axle articulation under the bag.

But for a simpler setup, see below:

If you're stock height, and driving moderate trails, air-shocks might be a better / cheaper option.

But as always, 4Crawler is thinking ahead and has a good solution without sacrificing articulation.
