That's why I like the air bags in back. It doesn't matter whether you're full or empty, just adjust the ride height with a shot of air.

I put air bags on my PU with slide-in camper. Air up with camper, air down when I took the camper off. But, my SMB load really doesn't change much, a couple of hundred pounds from the tanks and food supplies. Not much on a 10,000# vehicle.

It seems to me air bags are good for supporting weight. Maybe not so good for overall articulation of the suspension.

Make sure that cute dog gets in the back too, that could be a tipping factor!

It just might!

Cooper the Westy ( my dog in photos) , how it all began...
(the reason this all started, wife wanted a dog, friend said get a Westy ( short for West Hightland Terrier) I googled "westy" up popped a photo of TWO "westy's" at a campground:
One - VW Westphailia pop top camper nicknamed "Westy's" to fellow owners
Two- a cute shaggy white dog nicknamed "Westy's" to fellow owners
I say, "do you like point ing to dog/"
She says, "I like BOTH!"
I said what??
She says " I like dog and small house on wheels for camping"
(rememeber she is not from USofA)
I say "No Sxxt?!"
I have married a hot wife that wants to camp?!?

So the saga started with my Westy the VW camper

which we out grew very quickly, espcially after if found this Site


Thats my story and i am sticking to it !!

Got the rig back from Deaver today
Dropped it off at 7:30 am for his appointment
Called to check at 11:00 am and it was done !

My buddy picked it up while i slaved over a hot computer

IT ROCKS
No more Saggy Butt
Lifted I bet 2-3 inches

7 leaf springs (will have to count to make sure)
No big spacer box
No Helwigs
New bolts, shackles and u-bolts
Bilsteins

It is a DRAMATIC improvement in ride
Drives a ton better

I hit my usual freeway bump at 65 that usually is a whoop te do
Hit is and rolled over like Hot Butter


$2,095 out the door
Well worth it

pics later

bw out

They treated me like a King
Old fashioned service!
(but Jeff, where are my pink curb feelers?)

Rear only

Deaver is great. I live in New York, but waited till I was out there on a road trip a few years ago to have them install a leaf in my Tacoma. Those guys know what they're doing.
