I don't know much about bag setups, but all the guys on fullsizechevy.com say that air over leaf setups are junk, unless it is a helper bag on a stock or dropped set of leafs.

im not talking about putting the air bag over the spring, im talking about welding a bracket behind the axle to the axle and one to the frame and mounting the air bag there.

Still the same thing. All I have ever heard is it will ride like crap. If you want to bag it, do it the right way the first time.

A lot of minitruckers used to do the bag over leaf setup and they always ride rough; I think your idea would be a little better but still ride like crap. Just get a 4-link and bag it; it'll be a lot better and ride awesome.

Lincoln used a similar design on their truck, this pic might help your design out some

Never saw what the Lincoln setup was, that lower link is an antwrap bar I guess, but I wonder why they didn't just add two upper bars and a panhard to get rid of the leafs completely. Hmmm
