Default helper springs

Well I installed leveling kit and now when I tow or have a load it looks so stupid the a$$ squats and the nose is up. I havea fewsolutions helper springs, air bags , rear blocks or remove the leveling kit. I would like to gain a small amount of "lift" in the rear so its level when I tow or haul. any ideas ?

Firestone air bags in the rear. It's one of the few after-market goodies that are made for our trucks. There is a thread a month or so ago with the url for where to buy them. I can repeat it if you need.

Could also get some SuperSprings, they only kick in when you need them.

I feel the same way about mine. But, if you go this route - spend the extra money and get the onboard compressor, switches, and guage. You will enjoy having this setup a lot more this way. I originally decided that I didn't need the added expense and just bought the bags. I just recently installed everything else because it became a PITA to have to air up the bags after the truck was loaded down with a reguluar compressor. .02

I think it wouls be crazy to waste your money on anything but blocks. The block kit is 20 bucks, and the most simple to install, wont effect your shock feel, and its how alot of trucks get there OEM lift! Like a 4x4 ranger for example, its just a 4x2 rear end with 2" blocks. 1" blocks would make all the diff.
