Air Bags for my Burb
I've been thinking about adding air bags for the back of my burb. At first I was thinking about installing dual shocks on the back (I have the mounting kit for that), but now I'm thinking air bags might be a better way to go for towing. Can anyone recommend a kit or help me out with some links to get me going in the right direction? I don't have a reliable internet at my house right now. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Air Bags for my Burb
Here's some bags. The larger you go, the better the ride. You might also want to remove some leaves to improve the ride.

That is EXACTLY my plan, but all companies selling kits tell me that I'm going to kill myself and that they do not support weakening the leafs. Do you have it on your ride? |

Bags are meant to support roughly 3500lbs so I doubt the weight of a suburban will have any problem with them.. |

Re: Air Bags for my Burb
Awesome! Thanks! I'm not too worried about the ride. In fact the Burb bounces too much right now as it is which is why I'm wanting to put another pair of shocks on the front....it has the brackets, I just need shocks.
I talked with a couple of my friends who do a lot of towing and they recommended bagging the back instead of going dual shocks because I do use the burb as my tow rig. Thanks again for the links, that gives me some things to think about.
