First of all, the Odyssey really is awesome, but the suspension leaves a little lacking. Our first roadtrip included my family of 4 (the kids are < 30lbs each) and luggage with the back pretty much full (nothing majorly heavy) and the ass end really sagged a bunch. It was even bottoming out on the highway occassionally. does anyone have any recommendations (someone suggested Airlift)??

I have Airlifts on my Odyssey. I used it to carry very heavy DJ equipment. It works pretty well

I can literally load thousands of pounds in my Ody and with the addition of air can raise the van to almost it's original height. Do you have any specific questions? Here are some pics:

Why were the pictures taken in front of that dealership?
"... how does it handle?"
- It feels just like stock.
"how much were they and where did you get them?"
- I got it for $70 at carparts.com (part#60740). Currently it's $80. Check out http://airliftcompany.com/al1000.htm for more details on the kit I got.
were they hard to put on?
- Yes and no. It's kind of hard but not impossible. Check out my description on: http://nemogira.com/odyssey/airlift.htm and see what you think.

Here's the actual installation instructions for the Air Lift suspension. The only thing missing is the last page with the circular template (it's used to locate the center of the lower control arm).
