The are no airbags. It is a coil spring that is adjustable to suit your needs.
That is one of the directions I am looking into - coilovers.

There is this are control system for airbags that is self-leveling front to back and left to right, with manual override. Sounds sweet, but I have no idea how they help, if any, unloaded.

BTW - did your Z-series ever leak? My first trip, this one, everything got soaked, including about $3k of electronics and installation hardware. Pissed me off...

No, my shell does not leak. It is well insulated. That is important in Arizona.

Re: Best helper springs for ride and hauling?
Just a wild guess, there are more applications for the 2,000 lb ones, thus they make more and gain manufacturing efficiencies resulting a lower cost unit????
