I have these, it works just as well, and less the hassle. Fraction of the price as well. I pull a 5000lb travel trailer with maybe 1/4 of an inch of sag in the back:

Those Timbren ones do look good. Question though..do they add pre-load to the suspension? Does the rubber helper always touch the axle, or do they hover above the axle, until you put a load in the bed??

When there is no load, it sits above the axle about 1/2". You can't even tell you have someting back there until you have a load on the axle.

That sounds great. Those are probablly the best option, zero maintanance and no psi to mess with.
