AIR LIFT 52215 AirCell Kit for 2011 F250?

Rear suspension boost? Ordered a Diamondback ATV bed cover for my truck and know when i put 2 atv's up there the truck will sag more than i care for. Really don't want to go through the headache of Airbags being the truck does fine for all my other towing/plowing needs. A friend has Tmibrens and the ride is BONE JARRING empty. Anyone have experience with these??? https://www.airliftcompany.com/shop/52215/

What is it about air bags you don't like? What you are looking to install is non adjustable load support. I personally like my ride rite air bags because I can apply different pressures for different load, and still have and decent empty ride quality.

I live in snow country, I plow all winter. On an 03 250 i had airlines bound up with snow and broken Ect. I have no issues with what i do right now but just worry that the ATV's sitting on top will make it top heavy and handle like crap. I can see airbags giving too much as well as i have driven semi's for 30 years and going around corners with an air ride Pete is a LOT different than one on Chalmers springs.

Here are a few pics of normal days with my truck.....

I had timbrens on my F150 and didn't find the ride that bad unloaded. The whole point of timbrens is that they don't come into play until you truck has sank into the suspension by at least 1.5 inches.

Truck Camper Suspension - truck sway - truck sag - reduce camper roll | StableLoad

That being said, what about lower stable loads. Once installed you can easily engage them to stiffen your suspension when needed and your ride is stock when they aren't engaged. I'm planning on adding these to my 250.

It's the Lower Stable Loads that I like the look of. They are metal wedges you can engage and disengage at will to use your lower overload spring. Probably more expensive, but worth it. Imho
