I have heard others complain. I have not yet experenced it for myself however I also have Firestone airbags on the rear. That is what I have found to be the answer to your problem.

I like the Air Bags alot!!! However the ride did not smooth out at all. Well, I take that back. When your loaded it is great feels solid and not spongey like stock form. But let the air out when your empty because not only will it lift the back of your truck up it is also FIRM!! I run mine at 10 psi when I am not loaded and 80 - 90 psi when pulling my fifth wheel. I had these on my 05 dually and I LOVED them. Highly recommend to anyone!! I hope this helps.

I agree, air bags are great I have them on my 250. I have never felt axle wrap or hop in my 08.
