I had them on my last truck, had to remove them, too much on my back, I like the air bags much better, maybe your back's not as bad as mine, anyway, good luck with them.

a cheap set of airbags are $145?

I would have went with airbags if I knew that.

I have mine on with both spacers. it sits about 1/2" from the axle. I didnt feel a difference in ride until I loaded it and it didnt squat hardly at all and rode nice.

Empty I can;t even tell they are there... the only time I feel them is with Mike's 22' trailer empty behind me. It's enough to bring them about 1/4" from the axle. As soon as you load it it;s GREAT!!! and I can barley tell the are there with the empty trailer. I have heard alot of people say that with the spacers so that they touch the axle alays it is horrible!
