Hermann,

Air Lift's disclaimer, weasle phrase, says something like don't exceed the
maximium load rating of your vehicle.  Within that guideline the bags will
help your van ride more level which could reduce your tire wear problems.

<<  Chuck,

I carry a lot of weight in/on my Westy i.e. bikes,camping equipment, Thule
Weekender, when traveling in the summer. As a result, my rear tires wear off
more on the inside. Would the lift kit help me?

Cheers,
Hermann de Boer

Terry and list,

I've had these in since last fall.  They work great.  The right bag
ruptured
early this summer while I was away and my wife was using Roland for
daily
transportation. She also knocked the passenger side mirror off so
there's no
way to tell what abuse the bag took before rupturing.  I called Air Lift
and
they replaced the bag for a $10 shipping and handling fee.  No other
problems
have cropped up.  I love being able to see things in the rear view
mirror and
the ruduced wallow in corners (with just 10psi in the bags).

>>I guess success is mine!
The bags don't leak at all, the rear end of the van is sitting pretty,
and rides like dream.
I highly recommend them.

Later,
