Anyone using airbags for hauling with Lightning?

We obviously agree. Adjust lights. It’s easy. Maybe a nuisance. I’d be surprised if many do. Probably a few.

Bringing this back up, I think this idea would be great- soften the rear springs for normal usage, and add air helper springs that can be inflated when the truck is heavily loaded.

Looking under the truck, there are elastomer bump stomps that are separate from the coilovers in the rear. Does anybody know of an air helper spring that goes in place of a bottom out bumper that serves both functions?
Combine that with softer coil springs.

I thought the the beltech "lowering" shocks just had air bags? I don't see any reason you can't have an air bag around the shock instead of a metal spring.

I have not seen it verified but I have seen mention the rear struts are the same or similar to the front struts of a 2018 F150.

I noticed that Rough Country *may* have a helper spring system for the Lightning. I have not contacted them on this, but it might be worth looking into: https://www.roughcountry.com/air-spring-kits/ford/f-150-lightning/2023
