The present invention relates to an independent rear vehicle suspension that comprises a fore/aft link with first and second ends, where a bracket pivotally supports the first end of the fore/aft link from a vehicle frame member. The fore/aft link has an air bag spring located between the fore/aft link's second end and the frame member. A lateral link pivotally connects between the fore/aft link's second end and the vehicle frame. A wheel upright, with an axle aperture extending through it, is rigidly attached near to the second end of the fore/aft link and located above the fore/aft link. An upper control rod is pivotally connected to the wheel upright and pivotally mounted to the frame member.
