    I would say yes. On my Ford at 5 psi when empty I mabey have 3-4" to play with. I don't even hit my overload springs. Of course you have a smaller lighter rig so it may react different. Just keep in mind they where designed for load carrying and nothing else. There may be ones designed for allowance of flex but never researched it. Do a quick search on the pirate board, they might have some info on that.

    My husband bought the cheapest airbags they had at 4WP, and he loves them.

    I decided that doing it right was the way to go, no air bags. Got a weight distributing hitch instead so it solves the sag and leaves my truck as is when disconnected.

    I do Brad! Primarily because it leaves my truck as is. Unfortunately it leaves a hole in my wallet too.

    I like that solution as well! Hope connecting the support chains to the pivoting pin hitch is okay for your back - might still need your son to do that part but I like not messing your truck.

    I expect to be able to do it James. If I can't my wife should be able to. Hoping for less restrictions when I see my surgeon Wednesday.

    Need to make final adjustments but it's within 1" of where it needs to be. 3.5" of sag already eliminated. I'll get to the final adjustments and tightening tomorrow.

    Very cool design, no chains, it uses an "L" bracket on a small platform to hold the bars in place. It's a lousy pic since it was getting dark.

    You know I was joking, right?

    Of course I do, I'd have a LR style auto leveling air bag system installed but the cost would be more than my truck is worth!
