Another option would be to just weld some square tubing between the frame and axle. This would eliminate any rear end sag and would ride about as well as airbags set at 80 psi........
I run airbags in 3 vehicles, two of which are set up for serious off-roading, but I also needed them to tow occasionally. Now I wasn't pulling 11,000 lbs, but about half that from time to time. I never needed to run more than 25 psi to bring the back end of the tow vehicle up to where it was without the trailer hooked up.
