Hellwig air bags

Been researching bags, found the hellwig set.
i really like the mounting method, rather than a frame and axle bracket, they mount in place of the bump stop and contact the stock axle plate.
This looks superior to me, comments??

We have a little 2955RL Monty, and I pull it with a Tundra. I put Firestone Airsprings on it and they mount very similar, (using the bump stop mount) but the bottom mounts directly on the axle. Makes a big difference when you hit a big bump in the road, like on bridge approaches etc,. Can definitely tell the difference in the ride when empty. I usually let the air out of them if we're staying a while, down to about 10 psi. I have a small air pump hooked up to the battery on the Monty so when I hook up I pump them back up to around 50 psi. I've had them on there since 2008 with no problems at all.

I installed the Firestone Kit with the air pump. Found it easy to install and very reliable. Ride and leveling is excellent.
