Default air suspension assist

hey all, im going to be using my LR as a work truck...i'll be hauling around a water tank in the back...so i'll be upgrading my suspension. has anyone used these air springs, or anything similar? i want to keep it simple, hopefully not having to remove the coil springs to install the new ones. any help would be appreciated:

I installed a set of Firestones that I bought from Jegs in mine when I was towing a race car trailer. They're really easy to install, and work great. Tuck handled a lot better with the trailer when they were inflated, and I didn't find the back too bouncy or jarring when the trailer was disconnected. I ran the air lines to the rear bumper area, and could hook up my portable compressor easily.

not on lr, but I run bags as helpers on some of my 1/2 ton work trucks. always easy to install and a huge improvement on hauling/towing. I say definitely worth it. especially for the weight in water.

thanks for all of the input guys, the air springs seem like an inexpensive but helpful add-on.

quick follow-up question, do you guys know what the max tongue load capacity is for this truck?
