My truck (in my signature) does not have them and I was considering adding them.
1. What do they do besides lift rear of truck? That is the normal intent, to lift the truck when the original suspension does not do what it is you need it to.
2. Are they practical for use when towing a TT with a WDH? No, not really when it comes to your truck and camper. With your truck, when the WD hitch is set correctly, the truck will ride good. There is one other practical use I'll add below.
3. Are they really more for lighter duty trucks looking to lift rear of truck when adding a heavy tongue load? From my point of view, light truck or heavy truck using air bags to deal with a heavy TW trailer is not the best way to do this. Using a WD hitch is the better way for total truck control. The lighter truck can be in axle capacity issues real quick trying to use them to deal with a heavy TW trailer. Again use the WD hitch in place of the air bags.
4. Do any of you have them and can you share your experiences/thoughts about them? I'll type below on this one.
Thanks!
A question for you
5. What lead you to believe you needed air bags?
Just thought it would take some of the weight off the springs and spread the load. Perhaps that's what the springs are for!! Also, sinvce I have not towed with my new set up, I need to give the WD hitch and my F350 a chance before any mods are made.
#6. What problem are your trying to solve by using air bags?
No problem....just what I mentioned in #5 above.
