I have the Firestone Air Helper springs, they do great. I put a pallet of sod in there, running the springs at 70PSI and the truck barely even moved. Easy to let the air out too so the ride isn't too uncomfortable when you don't need them.

Ya man, air bags are the way to go if ur hauling large loads often.

Had mine since truck was almost new (bought it from dad) and changing psi with in cab regulator is cake.

Thanks guys. Probably going to go with an AAL. Seems to be the most cost effective solution just hope it doesn't ride really rough. She's sitting a little bulldog after the leveling kit so should bring her real close to level. If I towed or hauled more often I'd probably go with bags or the timbren's. Anybody have any experience/recommendations for an AAL?

If by AAL you mean add-a-leaf then I had that installed with my 3" lift. It stiffened it up some and I think it does a good enough job.

I'd love to have air bags and an on-board compressor with my tires tied into that so I could change my tire pressure on the fly but thats a dream and won't ever happen. (nor is it remotely necessary for me to have either) lol
