Alot of rain
Just worked in the shop today, pulled out my rear driveshaft and brought it down to get one of the u joints replaced. no more vibrations! and then installed firestone airbags on a 2013 F350 dually. it was sagging about 4-5" with his driveway sealing trailer on it, airbags at 85psi brought that down to around 1.5-2" of sag. wish it was level

We were surprised as well, kind of disapointed. The truck sits completely level without the trailer, and it was just awful with...but at least this is an improvement. Was flattening the overloads and now its 2.5-3" off them so thats good

I dont have a clue how heavy the trailer is, its a dual axle, probably 20-22 feet long used for driveway sealing. The main tank for the sealant is probably about 6 feet from the tongue, and it was almost full he said. But it just irritated him because his stock 2004 doesnt sag nearly as bad, an F350 dually should not sag..

Right, but can't the weight vary widely based on how empty or full the tanks are? I know nothing about the paving business, so I have no clue.
