Scuba Brackets and De-arched leaves

Aight guys..this is a two part question. I've got a set of scuba tanks here that I'm gonna put on the 720. I need to find some brackets to mount them in now. It doesn't have to be fancy but I don't want crap either.

Next question....I'm wanting to get this thing laid out. I have all intentions of doing some kind of link setup but I want to get it down on the ground. What kind of problems can I expect with temporarily running dearched leaf springs. I know ride will suffer but what else am I looking at. Thanks for the input.

Dearched leaf springs are fine, and not inherently dangerous if they're dearched by a reputable shop. Never run a single leaf with an adjustable suspension though, it will break eventually. Instead, de-arch the full pack if possible and run that until you can afford a multi-link suspension setup.

Can't comment about scuba tanks... super high pressure for air ride scares the shit outta me and always has. No one's life is worth having an adjustable suspension.

Thanks for the info Lance. I got burned by a "friend" I worked for so cash is a little tight. I bought the scubas from Aaron VA at ECN.

Nah..it's my last link to life as a minitrucker. I can't give that up. I do got a 4wd longbed I need to get some pics of though.
