I put a  set of these on my Jeep Wrangler.  VAST improvement!
It's a much  happier vehicle riding level.  Does a lot for MY piece of  mind
too. 


My buddy who installed the airbags on his Ford pickup tells me that  the 
reason he didn't go with the air shock is that they place a large load on  the 
shock interface studs/bolts.  As a result, these bolts become a failure  point.  
The airbag installation has brackets which fasten to the frame and  the rear 
axle housing with the airbag going between these brackets.  The  shocks still 
operate as originally designed.
