How do you get flat spots outta tires?
Is there anything other than the bag to make the hinge open? Is that amount of tension OK with the bags? (never dealt with airbags, so I really don't know)

Hmm not really sure what your asking. The hinge doesn't open until the axles drop and the bag has met its limit of how far it can expand. This makes it so there is no axial force applied to the bags which the bags are not designed for that would cause them to fail very quickly. Now as far as cyclic failure that is a different story. By extending them and compressing them like I plan on using them on this rig, they will probably fail prematurely to what they normally would. I knew that going into this and will have to replace them more often. This answer what you were thinking?
I loaded the hinge with grease when I put them together which should help with the rust. Also just curious if you have seen my truck? There is no rust under there.
i have followed your build since you started it i love your truck you have done a very good job. I am/was a jeep guy but i am sick of jeeps i am ready for something different, my friends older brother is selling me his 2004 double cab for a smokin deal and i am so excited. I already have a front axle for the sas, the truck has a 6" fabtech lift on it so its got a good start. Keep up the good work.
