[TheForge] opinions please, 2 Qs

I talked to Dave today and he said truck suspension air bags are around $100 
ea. and you could probably get them for next to nothing at a salvage yard.

Okay, lift bags but not the rescue bags. They're still pretty darned tough.

No, not LIKE an electro magnet, a real life, honest to goodness, except no 
imitations, electro magnet. Heck you could put a skirt of something less 
than wildly flameable around the foundation block and not worry about the 
bags.

Still don't think you'd need to worry about the truck air bags unless you 
start laying hot stock against them.
