    I have airbags but I don't tow much, though I do get my payload up there. They do well, but they stiffen the ride significantly without weight. You have to keep a minimum amount of air in them because they replace your bumpstops. Also, in my unscientific testing, the airbag cradles made no impact on my RTI on my otherwise stock suspension and it rides better without them. I ha e had 750 lbs of shingles in the bed and it felt great with the airbags.
