Rear end 'Sag' control

[az'03Silverado]

I was wondering if anyone out there uses products like active suspension, airbags, coil-overs, etc. on their 1500 truck. I was looking at a shock from Monroe called the Air-Max which has an airbag incorporated into a gas-charged shock. If the truck is sagging in the back due to a trailer or heavy load the shocks can be aired up using a schrader valve mounted on the rear bumper. They support up to 1200 pounds and can be aired up to 120psi to bring the back-end up. Any thoughts?

I installed the firestone riderite air bags. The install was very easy and only had to drill for holes. The kit came with plates to box the frame, air lines, fittings, and airbags. I routed the air lines along the frame and the installed the inflation valves in place of the stock licence plate bolts. I like the adjustability for when loaded or empty. The cost was around $210 from Summit racing.
