Extreme 4x4 did an episode where they bobbed a deuce and put airbags under it. If you can find that episode it will give you an idea on the parts you would need for the airbag system... and the onboard compressor is plenty to run it off of.
Frank; I just mentioned lengthening as an option later on if you wanted to bob in now. I think singling out the rears is a great idea. Depending on how you set it up you may actually gain load capacity. I once put 5 ton of rock on one of my deuces and it had no suspension left. I see no reason...
How do you "bob" a deuce without cutting the frame? A "bob" means to make shorter. You can single out the tandems without bobbing, but than that isn't "bobbing". Also frames can be lengthened... it is frequently done in the commercial truck world when a truck gets reconfigured... like a tractor...
