Default anyone running air shocks

considering a pair of air shock for the rear of my 05 2dr
Rides pretty much level empty but loaded for camping hitched up with trailer it squats a little in the rear
Being a 2dr with 30's it already is a choppy ride so I don't think I want to beef up the spring packs for the other 48 weeks of the year
Just curious if anyone else is running air shocks

im running the actual inflated air bags you put in between the leaf springs and fframe on my 1990 fullsize and yeah they really help. with my saggy old springs when i used to tow my s10 and i hit a dip the springs would pretty much bottom out now with like 30psi in them it tows great, it sits like a shackled up muscle car if im empty i always got to remember to deflate them when not in use

Gotem on my 4door s10 4x4 works good just need to let some air out when empty or the ride feels like your in an 80's 1 ton
