Ride rite bags with lift springs
I need to increase my payload capacity and thought a set of ride rite airbags should help out, but with a small lift in the truck, i'm worried about destroying the airbag as soon as my susp. flexes. So is anyone using a set of airbags with a lifted truck? Just wondering if you made your own extension, or used a different airbag altogether?

I'd go with an extra spring. And some firmer shocks like bilsteins on top of that will make a huge difference in how your truck handles more payload.
I'd say my truck with the OME HD springs (basically roughly what a stock leaf pack with an extra spring would be) together with my Bilstein shocks handles payload phenomenally! Seriously - when my truck has some weight in the bed, the ride is extremely comfortable. And going with an extra spring may be firmer when empty, but it's something that you can easily get used to and it will also relieve any conerns you have over flexing/air bag systems, etc.

I had thought of just adding a extra leaf but since i only have a load in my truck for a few months of the year, i don't want a horrible riding truck the rest of the time. A few of my friends are running airbags in their toyotas and really like them but i'm the only one with any type of lift (truck came with 2" downey lift springs) so i wasnt sure if they would still work.
