    I have to change up how my exhaust dumps and then I'll throw the bags on. Hoping to go on a trip this spring break and will put them to the test.

    I may end up with a similar setup to you... Depends on if a certain Four Wheel Camper drops to a price that is a "steal" rather than just a "deal". I would be alternating between an empty truck bed and fully loaded FWC and would want something similar to your setup where I could easily remove the bags after parking the FWC at a campsite to go wheeling and have full articulation.

    I think the setup is going to work great, and sounds like it would work great for you as well. They only take a few mins to install / remove. Also, the bags have proven themselves on other vehicles so I don't think bag failure will be an issue. The only downside of this airbag setup is the actual install of the mounts. You have to make new brake lines that allow room for the brackets on the axle, install a manual brake proportioning valve, run the rear brake line to the center of the diff, reroute your exhaust, and reroute the e-locker harness.

    That's a fair price to pay to have a good ride fully loaded or unloaded without having to swap out leaf springs mid-trip.

    Sure is!

    Are you planning on building the airbag mounts yourself? If not I could build you a set... I've actually been considering posting a kit up on the buy / sell section, but figured there wouldn't be enough of a market.

    This is all dependent on the 4WC. If I don't end up with one, I'll eventually end up with a Vagabond Driver or Go Fast Camper that will be permanently mounted and I'll set the suspension up to handle that constant load. I would likely build it myself since I would take the opportunity to box in the frame, add a new crossmember to mount 2" external bypass 10" travel shocks to.

    I have until the end of October before I'm potentially homeless. If that's looking like it will happen, the 4WC is the better choice to live out of through the winter in the southwest...

    Installed the shocks today. I've only driven with them on the street so far but they ride great. I'm sure their real performance is going to be off-road, that's how my coilovers are at least...
