Has anyone put overload airbags on their '03? I am looking for pictures or anything of the system installed. I'm concerned about the room available between the frame/spring/wheel well liner... I would like to leave the liners in place, but I need the airbags to keep the nose from pointing to the moon with the slightest load. Darn soft rear springs... >

 

I remember a thread where someone installed them and disliked them, though he'd loved 'em on earlier trucks. Air-lift funked up their design for '03's. Something about them being like nearly fully extended at normal ride height, so the axle wouldn't drop on the downside of bumps. That, and I think it reacts against the bed instead of the frame like all previous ones.

 

IF I was using my truck for hauling i would give serious thought to a 4 link and airbag system instead of air helpers.

Ride like a cadillac and be able to haul more weight than your axles are rated for (in case you get whacky).

There are some bolt on kits, weld on kits, and there is the kelderman kits as well.
