Nice work, I'd have replied sooner had I seen the thread! I love old Mazdas they are awesome.
First I thought you may have had the rare as rotary engined truck!
I like how your using solid works to conceptualise what you wanna do! Nice work.

Looks good, nice cooking!
The air suspension also works as spring and shockabsorber?

yip, the units im using on the front are an air spring over a shock absorber, so they're easy to mount (just like a shock on its own). on the back im using regular airbags and separate shocks
