With anything more than my two daughters in the third row, I hate how the rear of the truck drops down with any additional weight. It seems Air Bags would work perfect when I have additional passengers and/or have the LC loaded up. I'm looking to level out the ride when full of family/junk and people seem please with how it improves handling.
FYI, I have strock Springs and struts. I personally change out all 4 struts with OEM Toyota struts about 5 months ago. I'm not a mechanic by any stretch, but if I feel confident doing it myself, I will.
For the bags, how do you get air in them? Also, are there individual hoses for each side? I have a small digital air compressor that I can hook up to a cigarette lighter that I can use if I get a flat. Will that work to pump up the bags? Set each side to the same PSI? I also read that people run the hose to the back bumper? Does the hose come up through the floorboard?
I don't want a lift and want to keep everything as much stock as possible. I do VERY minor off-roading and its used to take kids to sports, family vacations, etc so I'm not worried about articulation of springs, etc.
