89-95 Air ride suspension

I have a 89 Toyota pickup that i have been hauling wood in for a while now and it puts lots of stress on the rear springs obviously and Id like to see if anyone has ran air bags .
Im looking at a set of Firestone Ride-rite bags and id like to see pictures and pros and cons of people who are using these or another brand of air ride bags

The first three pictures are of it loaded to the canopy with wet wood

I'm sure it has been done. But the common fix for that issue is a zuk mod. If your not familiar with it. You take aftermarket coil springs and place them between your bump stops in the rear. If sized properly they will be quiet, will not pop out under flex and usually can be completed for under $200. A little search will point you in the right direction for that mod. Hope this helps.

Yeah thank you i have heard of the zuk mod but for 200 bucks id rather spend another hundred bucks and do it the right way no not risk having a coil spring pop out or having a very stiff ride all the time . I was just seeing if anyone has pictures or if anyone has a recommendation of a brand of bags they used .
thanks for the reply
