Not personnally but from what I have read they are good. Just make sure that your current suspension is working OK as otherwise using the assistors is just masking the cause.
The assistors are on special offer @ £100 at present. Look on their UK website.

Plenty of people here have put the Air-Lifters on, instant relief!

I would agree with JoeC ,if the vehicle is " bottoming out " you need to get the suspension checked out as broken/worn springs and shock absorbers /struts can be very dangerous.
Good Luck.

There are some spring assisters here:

They will help if you have a heavy load / rear conversion / LPG tank, but as previously suggested, normal suspension in good condition won't bottom out unless you're driving it like the General Lee
