Its not good on the bags to do that. They will fail prematurely. Go with firestone. The compressor kits are stupid over priced.

Smokey.....I don't normally suggest the Timbrens because I'm told they bump with no load, but if you've got a load most of the time they might be your answer. I don't know first hand, but I'm told it's a good product.

With that said....if you really want to get airbags then just get the airbags with no compressor. You can keep them full all the time or if you have a small compressor you can just fill them when you need too.

Just make sure you get the ones rated for at least 2000lbs. Don't get the "air springs". You want Load Leveling Air Bags like these:
