So I have been toying with the idea of doing a centered mono bag set up on the back of my truck. I saw it ona Mazda

does any one have any ideas? Any goods or bads about running this kind of set up?
Tanx...

i would say NO...
will not handle very well. since the spring (bag) is in the middle of the axle, the axle will articulate side to side.. you need to have the bags on both sides of the axle to keep the axle stable.. or you will have some bad bodyroll...

I will go with ICE on this one. But if you do decide to do this, some good shocks and A BIG ASS sway bar will help the bodyroll.

i dont believe that setup would be that much less anyway. do the 2 bag setup.
