airbag lift kit?
ive been wondering this for a while, so i figured for the sake of discussion i'd pop the question:
so i use my truck daily for construction, and then I use the truck to haul motorcycles around too.
So as much as i'd love to raise my truck, it would make everything a pain in the @$$. is there a way to put bags in the rear that would raise and lower when i needed to? i mean of course there is, so i guess i mean is there a decently priced kit?

They should have air ride bags, i'd like to think...
Something I've thoguht about (if i wanted to make things fun), would to do a triangulated 4 link, and make cantilever shock mounts that use hydraulic rams (or even linear actuators, depending on strength/cost/holding capacity?) to adjust the ride height. Would just need an electric hydraulic pump and holding valve. and the 4 link prevents axle wrap and keeps pinion angle correct.
But front would be of issue because changing shock mount height changes more than height.

my moms land rover LR3 came with them stock from the factory. and its probably the coolest thing ever. and they work and ride amazingly!!!! not sure what it would do for your payload. unless you could do helper airbags in the back too??
