One question, do they work with your leaf springs or replace them?

I've got a set of the Air Ride Ride control units on my '92 Dak CC (2WD),
which I installed mainly for stability while towing my boat. Air ride
recommends maintaining at least 10 psi in the bags at all times, in order to
keep the bags from folding in and "pinching" themselves. At this 10 psi-20
psi level, the ride is not noticeably changed. When you pump them up to
40-50 psi, the unloaded ride starts to get pretty stiff, but it's just right
for hauling a load in the bed or for towing purposes. I've never found a
need to go over 60 psi with mine, although they are rated for up to 100 psi.
One neat side effect is the ability to raise the rear end of the truck up to
about 2" with 50 psi in the bags.
