Anyone have the air ride smart-system?

I'm curious if anybody has the Arnott air ride system? I find the smart-system quite interesting. The rear suspension will maintain its height regardless of load. I have an AS 2.5" in the front and am worried about the sag in the rear when I load it down (I haven't had to yet, so I'm not exactly sure how bad it'll be). This seems like a great solution, although it is a little pricey at $725.00.

Anybody have any thoughts on this, or using the system? Even any opinions on any air system would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't have the Arrnott set-up but I found the rear sagged too much for my liking. Theirs looks lig a pretty nice set-up. The auto ride height sensor is a slick feature. The air bags are made by Goodyear who has 50 years of experience doing so. If you've got the money I say go for it.

I might be a lil confused...

$725, for an air ride setup for the front and back, or just the back? Can you control the height yourself? like drop the height at will?

No they are just air "helper" spings for the rear.

They bolt in-between the frame/axle, and are basicly only used when you have a load on the truck.
