   I just bought a Gabriel Hijacker adjustable air
shock  for my rear wheel on my 3 wheeler. It seemed
the best solution to the rear height problems when
carring various loads changing as much as 400 lbs. It
would be cool to put them all around . Then you could
lower a car or truck for hiway speeds probably saving
10% of drag . Maybe one my next one. This would work
on conversions too. I have a 12 airpump onboard, only
weighs 3 lbs.                                         
                 What kind of airsprings do you use?  
           Thanks,  jerry dycus
