First, in this era of disc brakes on nearly everything, one tends to 
forget that drum brakes need to sort of seat in to get that great hard 
pedal "feel" -- drive it.

And it helps to tell us what type of airbag one has in mind -- I seem to 
recall some links to photos on this list of abnormal proportions. Do you 
want helper springs, like air shocks, or do you want a lowrider 
suspension with a pump, controls, and so on to park your ride down "ON" 
the pavement ?  Or do you want bags like an air ride Freightliner?

All different sorts --specificity would help.
