Or just air down.
This is a bit off subject but deserves sharing. I run E rated A/T tires on my vans, always have, and cover a lot of interstate where I want the lowest rolling resistance and highest efficiency. Heavy rigs (vans or whatever) are a punishing ride offroad no matter what the suspension set up if you have 60 plus PSI in your tires.

My solution is a BIG air tank and twin compressors. I air down very frequently, not only for offroading but also for days of fire road exploring. I drop to 20 psi and lots of things improve. Wife's mood, less rattles, comfortable ride, good handling up to about 40 mph.
