My air suspension book covers the selection of air springs where there are spring specs available.

Kelderman is probably using firestone and they did all the homework. That is bags, fittings, strut assemblies, new Rancho 9000 shocks. I really can't build the front end for that price.
The 4 link rears are where I think I could fab my own. The thing that makes it worthwhile is your control system. If I can borrow from that, I can make a speed adaptable ride, and also an off road setting.
I am looking at electric sway bar disconnects, so I can fit a beefy sway bar for on road handling, and just disconnect it when I desire more travel.
