Do you mean inboard of the springs? I was considering the RideControl because they leave the stock jounce bumpers in place.

^The Loadlifters 5000 series has built in bump stops, so you can run them at 0 psi when you don't have a load and it doesn't affect your ride quality. I swear by them. I've also had the Firestone bags, which worked great but seemed to loose air more frequently and did not have the bump stops built in.
It make pulling my 8k + Springdale stress free! :IMO:

Yes, they mount inside the frame and on the axle.

Not to derail the thread since it is about the Loadlifter 5000 airbags but I also was considering the RAS since it has added benefits other than preventing rear squat under load. I have the take off shudder that I hope it fixes and if additional load support is needed beyond what the RAS can handle, I will look into these airbags as a supplement to the RAS.
