AIR BAG'S

I really love this truck 2017 fully loaded lariat 4x4 but do I really need to put air bags on her? Had them on my 2015 loaded lariat 4x4. I pull a 40ft 5th wheel weighs about 13,000. They kept my 15' from sagging when pulling but the 17' has a rake towards the front. Thanks for the input.

Hook up to your trailer and see how you like it.

I'm a big fan of Timbren springs rather than air bags...

they are very simple...like your overload springs, they don't do anything until you need serious weight management, so they don't kill your ride quality. They just quietly do the job without a lot of fuss. If you often hook & unhook your trailer, then you are always filling and deflating your air bags (or you suffer the consequences when you forget to deflate after you unhook...haha).
