does anyone have a link to the airbag kits? my leafs are rusted out and ready to break and need replacement. with tax returns right around the corner i wanna get my durango back up to par. also another question, my durango calls for p235/75/15 tires but i put 3x10.50r15lt on it. they are cavaliers, identical to the goodyear wrangler authorities they sell at walmart. i had them all at 40 psi and the back ones started to wear unevenly..... whats the best psi to keep those tires at?

I Towed my 1962 Chevy Truck on a 20ft Big Tex full metal deck with tongue box full of battery and winch plus parts, no problems. Had to roll truck back to get right balance and the nose down. I would say 5500 -6000lbs. Friends warned me about the brakes with their D and large boats going to the river. I like the top mount overloads for the stock set up. Bag systems have come a long way and if you tow a lot its the only way. They have new systems for trailers so your car can ride in comfort-lol.

I put a set of Firestone Sport-Rites on my 2001. I can't say enough good things about them. If you tow, carry kids in the third row or heavy stuff in the back, then get a set of these. No more dragging the rear end around, the headlights illuminate the road again, and they seem to have helped the handling, too (note: I did not tie the left and right air bags together with a tee, as I didn't want air moving from one side to the other in a turn, potentially increasing body roll). I keep a compact bicycle pump in the back storage box, and can make a quick adjustment anytime I need.
If I remember right, the only drilling I had to do was in the plastic fender liner, and some other drilling through plastic as I routed the air lines (I brought my schraeder valves out the bumper cover, in the corners by the license plate). The frame is already punched with a hole in the right spot, and the sport-rites just bolt in. Easy two hour job.
