I am looking towards 2 options : Add a leaf or add airbags to the suspension. And, of course, each of the options has it’s pros and cons.

Add a leaf is a lot cheaper but it might lift the rear a bit when there’s no payload at all in the truck and it might also stiffen the ride quite a bit. Is that true?

Abb airbags costs a lot more and I’ll need to adjust the air pressure each time I'll change the payload if I want to keep some kind of a comfy ride.

I’d like to hear from those who made one of these 2 modifications and what they like or don’t like about them….

Thanks!
I was on the fence same concern. I went with air bags and an onboard compressor. Wasen't that much and was easy to install. I love it works great easy to change for all types of loads. Also it leveled my truck out (using 5psi)
