So I was discussing the whole F150 leaf spring deal with a mechanic buddy of mine and he said why dont you use airbags? So I investigated further, http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1806_4017_4024_4058_4136
They use shraeder valves like you have on your tires to inflate the bags, or you could use a small onboard compressor as well. I havent seen anyone with these one here just a bunch of people talking about the F150 spring mod. Im curious to see if anyone has these or similar and how they like em.
 






had them in the front springs of my old F 250 plow truck, to hold up the extra plow weight, worked good, easy to install, and you hardly knew they were there in terms of ride difference,,
easy to use, , need more resistance, add air,, soften it up, let some out,, all good,
 






I have them on my F250, they used to autofill until the compressor locked up, went to manual shreader valve through the bottom 2 holes of my license plate and don't mind checking them every so often.

They work great.
