Is that rear suspension stock? Seems to handle the payload quite well.
Looks awesome. I have an XLT And and can't wait until they actually build a hybrid awd. What suspension do you have here?? thxOn the way to Croom Motorcycle State Forest:

Looks you added some assist to the rear suspension. Any idea of what your combined weight was in the bed?On the way to Croom Motorcycle State Forest:

Looks like they added these:

You can see the schrader valves for the airbags in the coils, they're mounted on the hitch (2).

Yes, here is the link to the air bag assist:

Firestone bags are heavier duty, but I couldn’t determine if any would fit.

Nice. I had those on my 2006 Pathfinder as it squatted a lot when hooked up to my old boat. I was considering these for my Maverick XL too.
Question: were they an easy install? Like, did you simply squeeze it between the coils while it was un-inflated? Then run the lines to the valves that I see you installed next to the trailer light connection?

Yes, just as you described gear1975, but the kit didn’t come with the “pucks” that usually go on the tops & bottoms of the bags to protect them from the ends of the springs, so I had to make my own.
That looks like a fun load of cargo. Airbags are great idea for the Maverick I hadn't considered. Nice clean install too with the Schrader valves.
I've used airbags in the coils on a 2012 Nissan Pathfinder and they really helped with towing. Thanks for sharing.

What did you make the pucks out of? Got any pics of them?
