Default Is anyone here running full air ride rear suspension?

I have the link kit and was curious to see if anyone is running a similar setup.

I run the Rancho RS9000X's with in-cab controller. It works really well pulling my 12K RV.

I like the Rancho 9000x's. I should have been more specific though.
I meant air spring rear suspension.

i thought about it..... there was a guy over on DTR that did a full suspension but he was very stingy (sp) on the information about it.... i'll have full bags on my ranger in a year or so..... or whenever i get time to work on it..... and i'll have some support bags on the rear of my dodge to help with the rough ride before too long i hope..... other than that i guess i'm not of any help.....

My only concern would be relying soley on something that could develop leaks. The driver side bag on my truck has a slow leak. If I don't pay attention to it, somebody wil have to tell that my trucks leaning. It takes about a week for it to go down 2". Its probably not a big deal with an onboard compressor. It does look like a pretty sweet setup though. Good luck with it.

aren't there bags out there that you can buy that don't fully collapse once deflated or am i on drugs? i thought firestone or somebody makes them. be a good thing to check into if you go that route.
