Air suspension

[CLAMUP]

Has any one looked into or installed rear air bags in a 2011 truck,

Is this for towing?
I've done some reading for you and found a few half finished threads regarding an air bag system. Guess they didn't go through with it... I know Roadmaster makes a kit for F-150 but it's a whole suspension kit.

Are you talking about "air bump stops" or weight supporting air bags ? like for towig and hauling a load ?

For towing and hauling a load and to allow for adjustment with installed air system.

They will limit your rear travel , probably in 1/2. We have talked about adapting a longtravel airbag off a dodge kit, but we have had to many other projects for the raptor take priority over it.

Would an air bump stop work in the same manner as an air bag ? Like a 4" air bump to take up weight as truck is loaded ?

If the right upper bracket was designed to carry higher and also add strength to the frame at the point where they are bending this may serve two purposes. Firestone makes all types of air bags but not the right brackets, the upper bag bracket would have to be on the side of the frame. I'll have to put the truck on the rack this weekend and take some measurements.
