got an 04 super crew 5.4 with 3.73 rear and thinking about either hellwig load helper spring or a timbren suspension kit as i pull a 7800lbs travel trailer with weight distribution and rear does sag a little more than i think it should. any suggestions? thanks in advance wlsmithjr1960

 

What is the price difference between that an air springs?

I have the Fire stone ride rite air helper installed in the rear end of my truck, I pull a Jayco 27BH and having the air set around 60-70lbs when towing my trailer makes a world of difference. I totally recommend it. I didnt get the air pump installed because its too easy to use a 12v air pump.

thanks for the advice and yours looks great but now you got me thinking to much about the difference, now i've got to decide, anybodies elses advice is appreciated. wlsmithjr1960

 

In my F250, trailing the below, I installed the RideRite air springs. It is a really good setup as far as ride and weight compensation. If you don't use it too much, I would just put some air valves at the back bumper and fill them from that or as Arkas said using a 12V portable.

I purchased the pump since we haul fully loaded sometimes, patrially and other empty from dropping off. This way I can adjust on the fly depending on my loads. I can pump it from the cab and have a left right gauge.

 

great rig and thanks for the advice, we'll see how it goes. wlsmithjr1960
