airbag suspension for towing

(1/7) > >>

M:
I love my truck, it has PLENTY of power for what I need it to do, and it rides fantastic.

Only issue I have with it is that it always squats so bad. I had a heavy load over the weekend and I could tell that the bumpstops were hitting the axle when I cross over bumpy bridges.   Other than that, the truck was fantastic.

Since I plan on keeping my truck for a long time, I want to put on air bags in the rear axle.  Will this help with the leveling issue? does anyone have experience with air suspension?

Wingman:
Weight distribution hitch?

M:
It does not have one.

I've also put heavy pallets in the bed too, so I think airbags would be my best solution.

mr.mindless:
Bags will prop it up.

for heavy tongue weight a WD hitch will actually improve handling as well though. It's closer to a solution than a bandaid - as long as you are not close to max on the trailer axle since it's going to put more weight back on them.

JEEPWERX:
WD Hitches work great. I've had great experiences with using them.
The new GM trucks seem to have 0 rake from the factory, how much does it squat with just weight in the bed and no trailer ?
