as long as you dont run the bags just for your suspension you should be fine. If you try and use it for suspension the ride will feel like you are in a rythmns section.

Are you wanting to do a lift kit for the hole truck useing air bags or just use them in the rear? For bags like the ones shown in your pick I would look into a Kelderman system. Kelderman Air Ride

o will the back is easy, cany of the name brand air bag will give you about a 3.5 inch lift on the back.m y firestone gave the back a 4 inch lift over stock rear. im going to add the firestone level right air shock up front hopefully before winter to have a fully adjustible lifted truck. can go up and down if im towing a 5th wheel or what to look cool high in the air. comes out to be about a 2.5 to 3 inch lift
