I wouldn't recomend air shocks. The hock mounting points on these trucks rear end are lame and break easily.
Hence the "I wouldn’t depend on it for a ton of weight but it helps with a little load". I don't recommend pulling a fifth wheel with them! But in the winter I put a few bags of sand in the back and it helps with the squatting since I am running 3in drop springs out back, and stock up front. I don't care for the squatting dog look.
