I just had the Airlift kit installed on my TRD OF. Riding around town with the minimum 5psi I cannot tell I even have them. I will be towing this week, so I will update with an updated photo of before and after.
Also just put the Airlift kit on as well. Don't feel any difference in the ride at 5 psi.

Will say - if you have a Limited, be warned - they don't account for the AVS lines. You'll have to cut or adjust the clips as they share the same mounting points as the flexible brake lines that are relocated as part of the install.

Also the AVS lines will get in the way of the outboard u-bolts for the bottom bracket. I just had to unclip them entirely and zip-tie them.

I don’t think that was an issue on my install. Here’s a couple pics installed on mine.

A bit off topic, but I like the contrasting body side molding on the doors. I almost went the same route on my silver taco but ended up installing the color matching ones. I don't see them very often.

Yeah was more or less just agreeing with you that ride quality is not affected. As someone else here said they ride like crap. No difference for me from stock.

The Limited AVS issue was just more of a side note / PSA on that post.

I wanted to follow up with how the airbags installed on my Tacoma have helped eliminate the sag and produce a better towing experience. I also minimized some weight and shifted a few items. However, I only eliminated 20lbs off my previous tongue weight. My Bean is front heavy due to the box, lithium batteries and the fact the axle is set back more due to the nature of the trailers off road set up with the Timbren 3500 independent suspension. They are only aired up to 10psi. Definitely worth the money!
