Anyone have a rear link suspension installed?

I'm thinking about installing a link and air bag rear end. Anybody have pictures of it on and OBS with a link suspension? Kit available or build their own? I'm going from SRW to DRW and may want a link to get it narrower. I think if I use a link that mounts under the frame rails, or at least closer to the frame rails I can use my existing rear without spacers and keep the whole back of the truck a little narrower and gain some ride comfort.

What's the part # for the bags you used and how's the ride? Did you use a leveling valve, that's found on an over the road truck? TIA, Carl

haven't done the bags , just exploring at this point, That picture is great but a little more rad than I need, I don't need any lift , just a link and air bag. Nice truck would have been all ove that when I was younger.
