Anyone add air helper springs to an e70 that's non-factory leveling?

Towing quite a bit with my 35i e70. I have the factory hitch, but do not have factory air leveling.

Anyone add helper springs like the Air Lift 1000 kit?

Just curious how it worked out before I spend the cash.

Would like to eliminate some squat when hauling a larger trailer or my boat.

I had a 2006 Chevy Tahoe I used those same bags on. They worked great for pulling my boat. Just make sure you air them up before adding any weight to the hitch. You can air them down some once the weight has been applied to soften the ride. You will have to play with the air pressure a few times to get it just right. Just remember not to add air once the load is on the hitch. You run a chance of them rubbing and getting a hole if you add air after weight is applied. I hope that helps.
