    Maybe, but also more complexity, less durability/reliability.

    I carry a 1000 camper in the back and also want to take it off and not have the Timbrens or Sumobumps inhibit travel. What would you guys recommend? I currently have a 2" add a leaf in the rear and at 65mph the stock bumps stops start to bounce the truck up and down.

    You're bottoming out with a camper at 65? If adjustability is what you require then air bags certainly fit the bill. Having a compressor on board to air up is handy for tires and toys but a paint ball bottle works as well.

    Below 60 it's okay, no bounce, no sway. I've got the racho 9000s adjusted to full hard. At 65 for some reason, starts to bounce. I've got a compressor airing down off road. I just hear that airbags stretch and wear out off road.

    Use daystar cradles to avoid stretch. Then they just act as bump stops that also increase spring rate but don't limit extension.
