Helper air bags w/ slammed 98

My 98 x-cab is lowerd 6" in the rear with a flip kit. Even with the c-notch I have no axle travel, and with two jet ski's in the bed I have all of about 3/4-1" axle travel [and thats after cutting the c-notches bumpstops half off]

Looking threw summit/jegs there is a "slam air" setup, about $300 total inluding this ugly air controler box for in the cab. Anything else out there? Maybe just a bag and mounting kit that lets you fill the bags with a normal tire filling attachment?

McGaughy's came out with a helper system a couple years ago. It's more expensive than the Slam Air setup though. You could make your own kit for a decent price, and just use schrader valves to fill/deflate the bags. You'd just have to find a way to mount them without using a kit.
