Air Bags
never installed have heard that they work good it is just too much work for me to deal with them i would try to upgrade the springs if you want more weight rating. now it is my turn to be duh you have coils correct or do you have leaf springs. (not thinking too well past midnight here lol)

the local spring shop talked to me about those i just could not remember the name of them. i just upgraded my f-150 coils recently put on rv 824 i have heard that the airbags are a pain in the rump for one reason you always have to ckeck the air pressure you dont want there to be none in them cause then they can get pinched and cut and you are out an airbag. i would look into larger springs or the timbrens replacing springs is easy if you want some pointers respond to the post or e-mail me slave2damud(No Email Addresses In Posts!)

I have firestone 2700 lb air bags on my 95 F250 and I'll never say a negative thing about them. I can't believe the ride and total lack of sway when they are pumped up. Mine are rated at 125 PSI but I haven't yet had them that high ( 65 - 70 maybe ). Installation is easy and when you don't need the overloads just release the air to about 10 PSI.
