Came up with a bagless spring assist airshock.
Looks like my normal front end but will take on air to make the front end accept either more weight or different field applications.
The front end will stand alone with 65lbs of weight on the nose wheel.
With 50lbs of air it will support 100lbs on the nose wheel.
With 100lbs of air it will support 235lbs on the nose wheel.
The shock is set for a 40 percent damper going up and a 60 percent damper going down.
The filler valve is in the keel and is hard to damage or hit by accident.
The shock has a two inch stroke and is progressive.
I'm also going to make a set for my main gear.
