Air bags for towing/hauling - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Probably a unique question on here. I'm putting together a Jeep with a '71 C10 frame as a multipurpose vehicle. Want to do autocross but still be able to haul a trailer or load the back full of cargo. I built a behind the axle coilover setup and was wondering if I could mount airbags where the coil springs originally went to be used only when needed? Would it hurt them to run around with no air in them 90% of the time (letting the coilovers do all the work) and add a little when loaded to keep things level?
