Air Bags

Hey guys I have a 2004 6.0 short bed extended cab and a 2006 fifth wheel. I have been towing it for about ten years with no problem but have noticed the back drops about 1.5 to 2 inches when lowering trailer onto hitch. My hitch weight is 1360. Do you think I need air bags for a hitch this light? I am asking as I retire next month and we will be on the road for months at a time instead of a week or so. Thanks for your help.

Randy

My truck drops to but when it stops everything is pretty much perfectly level including the gap between the bed rails and overhang.

10 years of towing.. New rear springs are needed.... not made to last the life of a truck.

all leaf springs un-arch.. over time and use. just getting tired/weak.
