I just can't decide; Airbags, Add-a-leafs, or Load Handler shocks!

Ok I have asked questions and did some research and saw pics, but i still can't decide what would be best for me! I want to Get rid of the rear end sag on my truck when I haul THings! I am not loooking to increase the GV! I just want to be able to put my four wheer on the back of my truck without the *** of my truck dropping! I am also looking to increase the rear ends highth an inch or two! What should I go with! anyone out there who can hlep me! I can't decide!

I would go with the airbags....or the loadhandler...you can adjust things more easily with the bags

Thumbs up

I would go with air bags, I got Air Lift on my truck and when i want to haul my trailers or 4 wheeler I just put 75psi in the bags and it sits perfect. My buddy has a 97 and he added an extra leaf and his sits good with weight on it, but when it comes to comfort without a load I can drop my air bag pressure, he can't

I want the same as you but with out the stiff ride. I am going with the new add-a-leaf system that I beleive I saw in Summits catalouge. It is like a helper spring but only takes in affect when the rear springs start to compress. This way the ride when unloaded will not be harsh. The kit was like $200 if I recall.

Well Guys, thanks for helping me narrow it down to two! I like the Air bags because you can adjust the bags to the psi you need, and I like the helper springs because once you put them on there is no other type of adjusting! I guess then only thing else to consider is price and avaliability! thanks for the help guys, I needed the push in the right direction!
