I have a Mojave that I installed a Go Fast Camper on. It has a little squat so I put in the Sumo Spring things that go between the coils, it still has a tad of squat, I'm the only one that notices it. I'm planning on bagging it. There was a video I saw and some dudes said the Firestone were thicker more heavy duty and had schrader valve screw on type connections instead of the AirLift harpoon connection. I'll probably do the Firestone this winter when I have more time out of the saddle.

I installed them on my Mojave after installing an AluCab canopy camper. They did not help much, so I lifted it with stiffer springs and kept the bags. That helped.
What springs did you get? What does your AluCab weigh? My GFC is #250. How is it with just the springs? Just springs would be the way to go for someone like me with a fixed load weight and no/minimum towing.

So my plan is to use the max tow springs with airbags, I’m hoping that will get it. I am planning on an rsi cap with an rtt and gear. I also tow a tandem axle enclosed trailer for my business about once a week.

I picked up the max tow springs yesterday and need to order the airbags and get them installed this week. I also plan on getting the hellwig swaybar as well. Hoping this all works for my application without totally destroying the awesome ride of my Mojave

Let me know how it goes. Thanks for the input.

my camper weighs around 450#. Add the steel bumpers, winch, recovery gear, food box, stove, fridge… and it is heavy. It was a JKS lift with Metalcloak shock extenders. I kind of wish I had started with Max Tow coils to see of would suffice since I really did not want to lift it.

So I’ve been running Max Tow springs and airbags with a trifold tonneau. Haven’t done the Hellwig sway bar yet. At 5psi and empty bed she feels very truckish but with 200-300lbs in the bed she floats again like have the Mojave springs and no load. I like where it’s going. Smart cap next year and rtt. I have a steel rear bumper ready and waiting just need to order the oracle backup lights. Probably will be time for rims and tires after all that.

I have Fox 2.5 Elite shocks being installed in the next week or two to try to stop the bounce. The shocks are great but still too cushy for my load.
Also trying to decide between 35" and 37" tires to replace the OEM 33s.

Did you end up getting the smartcap/rtt? I'm in the same boat with a mojave and wondering if bags are the way to go?

I ended up installing Dobinsons HD rear coils and kept my JKS standard front coils when I had my Alucab Canopy Camper. It rode ok, but was still not enough. The airbags did not do much, if anything, for daily driving. I switched the camper for just a Contour Canopy and kept the HD coils. It rides great overall, but is a little rigid on some bumps.
