Air Bags for Towing--advice
Alright, I know my JK is not a towing machine, but I camp and hunt a lot, and it's my vehicle to tow my pop-up...can't be without my Jeep
I want to do a lift, probably 2.5", but the problem is, is that it will level it, which is going to make pulling a trailer stange and hard to control. I'm figure I will lose some control with the ass end being pulled down. I was thinking of doing some air bags to help. Here are my questions. Will this work with a lift? Where do I start looking for a air bag kit? What do I do about air...on board? I've tried doing a forum search and it's difficult to find what I'm looking for, sorry.
Thanks!

Right on! So it looks like they are easy to install and cheap!
Now what do I do about air for cheap. I don't ever really air down my tires off road...maybe I should, but I'm not crawling or anything, so what do I do about air. And this will work with a lift?

The valve stems come out in the rear wheel well. You should leave a few pounds of air in them all the time, but you can inflate them to 8 or 10 lbs for when you are hauling your trailer. You only need to change the air pressure before and after your trip.
