Rear bump stops -- optional or necessary?

Mav,

Since you're the guinea pig on air suspension upgrade at the moment: What pressure do you run on yours?

When the VX is fully loaded for a trip (roof basket with spare and tools/fluids, hitch mounted rear cargo box, myself, wife, two kids, and dog) I run it at 30 PSI which is 5 less than the max rating. When empty I run it at 15 PSI which seems to give the right handling balance (little to no bouncing but without jarring your teeth).

The Air Lift system is nice to have too for leveling your vehicle while towing/hauling, which of course was why I bought it in the first place. So even if you buy them and don't like the empty ride while inflated you can always deflate them and just use them when you're fully loaded.

Yah, I have them on the RV (Firestone version anyway). Never had any info on what pressure to run them. Taking a shot in the dark, I started running them at 30 psi. It seemed to work. Glad to know that I'm within the max rating though.
