I have them and they seem pretty good. Just had them warrantied. paid for new ones and installed them took the old ones back and got a refund. That easy.
I had one that was leaking and since they come as a set of two you get both shocks new.

The last scrap metal run I took to the yard I used my friends trailer loaded that up as well as the bed of my truck. Drove the 10 miles there pulled on the scale it read 13,900 lbs. the truck had no problem with the weight drove well it's a mostly stock screw lariat. The point is the shocks supported The weight well

Well I ordered a pair of them from rockauto. $86 plus shipping. Looking forward to getting them installed!

Then I will turn my attention to the front worn out struts.

For any others interested, I love my air bags. No change in ride-ability when unloaded, but when you have a load, just air them up, and away you go. Although, a little more expensive than $86. That's a great deal lol

I've been thinking about getting a set since I'll be towing alot here in the near future. I've just started looking at them and don't know anything about them but heard airbags aren't good for off roading and I do quite a bit of that. Do yours deflate completely and the truck operates as if they weren't there or do they replace the rear shocks completely? The ones I was looking at are by airlift and just mount between the frame and axel keeping everything else in place.

They are traditional heavy duty shocks that replace the old ones. The springs on them are progressively wound so in normal unloaded position they work to dampen the ride comfortably. When towing or hauling, they prevent bottoming out and get progressively stiffer the heavier the load. I've had them on the truck now for less than a day and I'm already in love with them.
