Offroading with Air Helper Springs

So I have a pair of Firestone air helper springs in my possession, and I'm looking at using them in place of my nonexistent bump stops before I replace my rear shocks with the new Eibachs. Would save me a hundred bucks since I can fab mounts myself.

So my question is, are these air springs going to kill my articulation and offroad capability? Can I just let the air out of the bags and they'll function as just bump stops?

I'd love some guidance.

 

Pair it with dystar cradles.

You don't want to utilize these are bump stops. You will blow them out eventually. The cradles help with offroad use as it will not limit your suspension travel to the extension of the bag

 

Firestone air bags 5psi minimum will serve as bump stops. When used with dystar cradles it will prevent the air bag from getting damage during full articulation.

Air lift have an internal jounce/bump stop, but I did not like the ride. Both on 0 psi or even 5psi. It felt that I am riding on bump stops.

 

I went with airlifts specifically because they say you can hang the suspension of them without damage.

 

I had airlift bags on my truck and returned them after they failed to hold pressure after one trip off-road. Your mileage may vary.

Good company though, they refunded me well after the return period.
