I installed these. They dont increase height.
They are Airlift Aircells. I did this instead of air bags.
I had 27 sheets of 1/2 4x8 drywall in the bed and with these the bed dropped just about a little over an 1-1/4" from measuring empty to full. Thats just over 1/2 a ton in the bed.

I bought some replacement springs for my 07 from sdtrucksprings.com and they have been on the truck about two months. I got the 1900 lb springs which are 400lbs more than the stock ones I think. They also have the 2400lb springs. So far ride it the same. There is a little squeaking but once I put some WD-40 on them they stopped for a little while, just need to put some better grease on them. The other website I looked at is thesuspensionking.com

I just checked out that link to Raptor Performance Group. $1,400 for a set of springs is far too steep for me. I was quoted $1,100 from the dealer for everything to bring my truck back to stock, and that was with a discount. I think the $200 SD Truck Springs will be sufficient, since they have the 2400lb capacity. That plus a set of Firestone Ride Rite airbags and an onboard compressor will bring it up to around $1,000.

S**t! I forgot about that! Thanks brother! I guess after a set/pair of springs and an Airlift compressor, Firestone Ride Rite and such it'll probably be closer to $1,400!

Here is what I found out from RPG... The spring rate and load will be very similar to the Raptors because its built for performance.. That being said they did a custom set for me with their HD Springs for $1,100 and built for a load

May want to make sure what I said was true since I dont know what company you are getting them from.
