Ridetech Air Bag Shocks ?

How about running these air bag shocks with she shock bracket bolted to the i beam and fab one for the spring bucket ? Would it work for weight of our trucks ? It would be adjustable for ride height . What do you think ? Would it work ?

Does anyone use a kit like this? I'm looking for a more updated suspension system and this looks like it might do it for me.

I want to make sure it actually works and if it affects towing at all (just light trailers, stuff in the bed, etc)

People bag dually Chevys all the time and still pull car trailors with them. Heck, I've seen one once, pullin a trailor while layed out at 60mph, throwin sparks everywhere. It was awsome.

Not the same thing, but user Wickedinhere fabbed up his own bag brackets. He has a lot of good pictures in the thread I linked to below. I'm sure you could do the same thing with stock beams it just wouldn't be as low when aired out.
