ok so if you read the thread about air shocks don't do it I have had squeaks and rattles and things u wouldn't think of. im going back to aspire rear strut with stock festy spring and going to add a rear air bag setup some how like a semi uses on it's cab mounts that way if one bag fails I can still drive it. one air shock blew out while my wife was driving blue and well tire so far into wheel well that couldn't even move it.i had to use spare to jack in the suspension to move it.

a friend of mine had a festy with tractor cab airbags fabbed to the rear beam for a load leveling system. it was a very symple install but was also VERY effective.

similar to this:

something a lot like this

1chrisapple & others,

Please post whatever you come up with to handle rear trailer load as I want to do the same thing on a couple members of my fleet.

Do you need one or two of these?

[FestYboy]

you would need 2.

If we only had 4 door festivas. How much longer are those?

I have see 2 4 door Festivas (prides) less than 400 miles from you, in Puerto Penasco, Mexico. There is also a 93 lx down there, saw it a couple months ago. If your creative, then it's not hard to get old cars from Mexico to CA sort of legally-ish.

If festy boy could whip up some kinda drawing to show how his buddies car was setup would be great.no artist work just simple sketch

I googled for these once and they make a stock bag setup for the festiva. However they're 1700$
