AirBags to fit Titan?

I am looking for a set of Airbags for the rear of my 4x4 Titan to assist when I am carrying heavy loads. Right now, with a load of around 1200 lbs, the rear moves down about 4 inches. I looked on several web sites of Airbags, Air Lift, Firestone, etc. No application for Nissan Titan.

no application, but you can call them and I think the set up they sell will still go on. Sinking 4" isnt good? wonder if anyone elses truck does?

call and ask air lift and they can tell you what will fit.

There is a new kit they make for trucks, I have no idea what it's called, but I saw it on an episode of TRUCKS TV. It attaches easily to the rear leaf springs and helps with heavy loads and axle wrap and says it doesn't affect ride quality. Might want to look into it before doing an expensive air bag setup. I'm sure someone here has so more info on the kit.

Thanks. I think I ran across the air bag option when I was searching for air bags. It looks like a coiled shock that mounts on top of the leaf spring. Looks interesting but I would like to control how much I can raise with the air bags. I will make some calls to Air Bag manuf. I will post if I find a set up.

I am going to try the super springs. Go down halfway to see a axle under leaf install.
I should have them on in a couple of weeks.

Zardoz, Did you get your super springs yet?? If you did were they easy to install?? As "dcwinters" wrote about the 4 inches of drop with the bed loaded, I too drop 3 to 4 inches then I hook-up my 5th wheel trailer. I'm thinking of ordering the super springs and was just wondering how you set worked out.

Update from Firestone. I called the other day and they said they would have a kit out in 30 days for the Titan. The main reason I am sticking with the air bags is that sometimes I carry offset loads. Air Bags will help me level out the truck side to side as well. Hwever, I am interested how the super spring st up worked out.
