You can use them to carry an extra load, but not a good idea to use them as a cheap lift kit

Air shocks are never a good idea they put load on shock mounts that was not made strong enough to hold a load.The air bag helper springs are the best thing to use.They go between the leafs pack and a frame rail and won't ride rough like air shocks can.And how much of a load are we talking weight wise ?

I've used helper coil springs on my Explorers for towing and they worked better than expected. IIRC they were 'universal' helpers I picked up at the parts store. They were designed to be clamped in place but I just jack the body up and slip them in when I'm gonna tow heavy and they've worked great.
