Rear Air ride
Anyone done this on their truck?
Was thinking about it for when hauling my quad in the box of the truck.
trying to keep the front end from pointing so high with the weight in there. I have also looked at extra leaf springs and have hear the ride is harder and not as nice when empty.
Any info would be great. Thanks

You think you need it? I hauled my Harley the other day and it rode fine, just my opinion 
I helped install them on my Dads Ram before. It was basic. Two bags, some mounting hardware, two identical length plastic air hoses and a T-fitting with a schrader valve. Mounted the valve on the bumper near the license plate and the bags were attached directly above the axle and to the frame. When he hauled the camper or toy hauler he would pump them up before leaving so they would take some of the weight off the springs. It worked great, then when he wasnt hauling he would let the air out.

That's exactly why I put Air Lift bags on my truck, with the toolbox, the ATV has damn near all the weight behind the rear axle, even a full size truck will go nose up in such a case. Best move I ever made...
Thanks for the input.
hauling my quad (about 700lbs) the front end goes up and drops the rear a good 2"-3", I'm also looking at getting a bigger trailer which would add more weight and I would like the ride to have less bounce.
