Rear airbags

Rear airbags

Anyone using rear airbags for helping with loads yet?
I have a the constant 600kg springs in the rear and wanting to just help the rear a little without adding an extra leaf as weights vary from work load and camping load.

Will most likely be firestone airbags as iv seen them tried and tested.
They won't be used excessively to creat higher lift but stiffen the rear when loaded or a trailer is attached

As long as you only use them to assit when you have more than your constant load. The guys that use them to hold all the load daily are the ones that pay!

Definitely! Iv seen the dreaded bent or cracked chassis
The hard part is i want it softer when offroad/touring as im not carrying as much but loaded for work i can tow for work and dont want an ass heavy truck.

You'll be fine. Like I said just don't use them to carry the whole load!
