Question Firestone helper springs

Hi,

I want to put some helper Springs from Firestone on my Rubicon because of the additonnal weight from the Roof rack, Roof tent and Campinggears wich would be a total of around 450lbs.

I´m not really sure about the durability when I go offroad. I think that they are not tough enough, and that stones or pieces of wood will destroy the air bag when they came between the Spring an the air bag

Does someone have any experience with it.???

here is a link to the product:

Thx

Nick

FYI - A few people, myself included, have been using these for a while now. I think everyone's on an FT 3" lift though.
