Nice! Interesting solution. Can you tell more about rear disc brakes? From which car solution to fit on Jimny axle. Because I see that you have a emergency brake is not hydraulic.

I swapped rear axle to full floater. Did you see design of rear axle TLC80? My Jimny has same.
I made custom rear half-shafts, mounting for spindle and calliper. All other parts are original Suzuki except brake calliper.
This mod gives you rear disc brakes, removes weak rear half-shaft bearing which dies after first crossing river, and emergency brake which really works.
At first time I used callipers from Honda Accord but later I found Golf IV rear callipers. They are smaller and requiring less work to do.

Is each number for each airbag? Are each side different?

All four airbags are same. It's Firestone F9000.

Why did you go for the 9000 rather than the 7000 airbags?
What is the ride quality like? Is it soft or firm?
