Can rear airbags help with departure angle?
I know there are a number of things to be concerned with related to "off-roading" a truck camper but I have seen quite a few pics of jacks and campers run into the ground while trying to cross streams...

Airbags don't cost $1200, even with onboard air.
Yes, you CAN use airbags to gain extra clearance at the rear when you need it. I do exactly that. It works great. There are several situations where it's handy to be able to adjust rear end height by pushing a button. You'll like it.
I went with AirLIft because they offer a set with internal bump stops and you can run them with zero pressure when you're not using them, but I don't think there are any "bad" ones on the market.
They sell the onboard compressor setups as a slightly cheaper light duty model or with a slightly more expensive model with a heavier duty compressor. This is the wrong time to save a couple $, get the better compressor. It's much more durable, you'll be glad you did.
