Despite varied feedback on these, I have just fitted a set and found them to be excellent.
A friend used these for a trans Africa trip with no problems as well.
For day to day use they improve the ride at the back without raising the ride height, but when fully loaded you just pump them with an onboard compressor to maintain the original ride height - seems an ideal solution, as I didn't want to fit HD springs for the few occasions I really need it.

At 123 pounds seems good option,but compressor extra. I presume you have to remove springs to fit, it says you can use any air source which keeps costs down, what sort of pressure do you find works best ?

They recommend running at 5psi for normal use (which I reckon is just right) - rising to a max of 35psi, but (unloaded) this gave me a lift of over 3".
Still to try it fully loaded but would estimate around 15psi should be about right for a reasonably heavy load.
After loading the van, I would just pump the springs up just enough to restore my standard ride height.
Compressor can be anything - even a bike pump! I have just got the valve mounted on the back bumper.

Need to remove springs to fit (not hard if the rear trailing arm bolt has been off recently).

As I have LR 90 springs fitted, the kit above is perfect, although routing the air pipe through the top spring platform is a wee bit fiddly so as not to trap it.

I find the ride at 5psi is much better, as the springs seem to give a bit of extra damping as well (or is it my shocks need replacing!!)
