Anyone using airbags for hauling with Lightning?

[HI Zeus]

Just curious if anyone here has installed rear airbags to maintain level while hauling. In my ideal world, I'd set the suspension totally level and then use a manual-inflate airbag when I tow my light camper (4,000lbs). It's winter, so I have actually measured how much squat I'll get with the camper, 4 passengers and a bed full of gear, but I assume 1-2" at least. This is a few times per year, so I'd also like to keep the level look the other 360 days with a level kit. I currently have a RC 3/4" level kit, and an RC 2" level kit. I'd like to lower the rear 1.25" with the kit, and raise the front to dead level.

Airbags might help on those occasions I'm using the truck as a truck (with weight).

Stock suspension:

I'd really like to know if anyone has done a rear airbag, or at least explored options they could share.

I'm very disappointed that the OP got hijacked by the headlight police, but I think we found the "elusive" solution to that:

My god man, it's like FIVE MINUTES to adjust the headlights. It's something you should do anyways. Putting in a leveling kit has less effect on the lights than hooking up a trailer, but i doubt you adjust your lights every time you hook up. Hauling some mulch is more likely to blind other drivers. And installing a level kit is not someone failing to tighten a ball nut, which ISNT A MOD IN THE FIRST PLACE .

So back to the OP:
airbags?

anyone? anyone?

Bueler?

Stiffening is bad?

Oh good point. My sciatica is a bitch.

Costco brand ibuprofen 2 bottle pack… ha

I really do think I may need a little stiffening though. I am buying a 1065lb bed camper and a little worried about sag. Hopefully it handles well.

Nice! Thanks. Maybe I don’t need a bag
