    I think you'll be happier with firestone airbags.

    With an empty bed, the sumosprings are still in contact with the frame rail, making the ride noticeably stiffer than stock in the rear. To me that's not a big deal, but I do plan on doing a mild suspension lift and going with airbags eventually.

    If I had it to do all over again I would go with air bags over the sumosprings because I am not loaded for a good amount of the time. But if you are loaded all the time, then sumosprings are perfect.

    SumoSprings are a great help, I have a leer 100XR, Custom Drawers, TopRac, CVT Awning and I can load 300 pounds of gear with no issues
