I'm about to install firestone airbags in my 03 2500. I just bought Power Wagon axles and will do the conversion sometime soon. Looks like the air bags will effect flex of the rear springs. Anyone have air bags and off road it? How much does it effect flex in the rear. Guess I want the best of both worlds. I have a heavy camper for my truck, that's why i got the air bags. I do offroad it a bit going to fishing holes which some are difficult to get in, which is why I got the Power Wagon parts.

for a tall load, don't tie the bags together pneumatically, use two seperate lines

 

I just did some digging on the internet and found a good forum on this topic. I don't want to sacrifice off-roading too much, so I don't think I'm going to use them, maybe i'll get overloads or something. They look pretty easy to install, but I don't want to install, uninstall for off-roading. I just spent a couple grand on all the Power Wagon parts, so I guess air bags kind of defeat the purpose. Here's a old forum

Not sure why that link didn't work, if you paste this under google, it's the first topic that comes up
Powerwagon and Air Bags = Less Capable Off-road?
