Ldubs,

I put air lifts on both my van and my truck. When towing the 20 ft camp trailer I used a WDH of course, but I also had a cargo trailer and a flat bed tandem trailer for other uses. and neither of these had a WDH setup. So the lifts took some of the "squat" out of the rear when using those trailers, and even with the WDH on the camp trailer they kept the ride height just a bit higher (the WDH keeps the tow vehicle level in either case...)

The advantage of the air lifts over more conventional 'overload' springs is that the ride is less adversely effected when the vehicle is lightly loaded and you let some of the air out for that use configuration.
