Airbags are pretty tough, but I can't say for sure on what their design limits are. Let me get with our technical group and dig up some info.
You could always build a guard of some kind around the bag if they were something you were interested in adding.
I will let you know what I find out.

I've had the reflexes and the Rancho 5000's. I really liked the Reflexes for their cost, lasted about 25 or 30k miles before I noticed a degrade in comfort. I have pretty heavy front springs. The Ranchos are different, not really better or worse. They seemed to do well in more aggressive trail driving, but I never tested the Reflexes in similar terrain.

Guys I have a farm truck that I'm putting a service body on for my personal work truck its an 02 truck and rides like a covered wagon it will beat you to death. I wont to put a suspension system on it that wont ride so bad becuse I will be in it all day, dont wont it lifted just great stock suspension whats the best? Also this truck will be in the dirt in fields and rock roads so it has to hold up and air bag wont work because it wouldnt take long for a cotton stalk to go through the bags. Thanks
FYI . After reading about shocks, I called to order the rancho shocks for my 2013 f230 fx4. I called my salesman prior and learned that my truck came with them from factory. I looked to verify and that's what I had. Advice: look before you order.

I have the 5100s up front and cheap procomps in rear. Mostly cost and looks. They did help the ride not be so bouncy and clunky as the shocks on when i purchased the truck were blown. I also changed the sway bar endlinks up front and sway bar bushings with moog parts which helped as well.
