I am looking for some opinions on what would be the best load leveling kit to add to a 350 DRW.
I tow a gooseneck that because of the size and shape of the some cargo can be difficult to level out on the trailer. Plus in the near future I will be adding a 5th wheel camper to the stable.
I don't want to do a air bag spring replacement just something that is adjustable like air bags that I can have available when needed.

 

I went with the airlift 5000 ultimate and remote. I am very happy and it leveled my rig and kept a certain level of ride quality that I was not expecting.

 

Very little rear end sagging on the '17's vs the '16's...my truck leveled out with a 3050 lb pin weight on my trailer. You may not need air bags...I'd wait until you put a load on the truck and then make the call...just my 2 cent's!!

 

Just so you know, it's not a spring "replacement". Your leaf springs stay 100% intact. The only thing you'll replace (remove) is the upper bump-stop. So the bags work in conjunction with your OEM springs.

I would def recommend the Air-Lift 5000 w the 72000 wire-less controller as well. But as someone mentioned... wait till you need it, and if you'll even need it!

 

My situation is a little different as I haul a slide in truck camper that weighs 3200 lbs wet.

I installed the Airlift 5000 Ultimate airbags which has the internal jounce bumper so essentially you can run them empty when not loaded. That said, I run 7 lbs empty and the ride is just fine. I also went with the Airlift WirelessAIR remote with on board compressor. That allows me to inflate/deflate the airbags from the cab on the fly as needed.

Another thing I also did was install the Torklift Upper Stableloads which are designed to engage the upper overload spring sooner that stock. That is an inexpensive solution and you might try that before looking at installing the airbags.

 

I will wait as recommended, I'm currently towing 14K gooseneck with my 07 3/4 ton, I know there will be a dramatic difference and a bit of a learning curve going to a 1 ton dually.

 

I too say wait. My slide in camper is 3400 pounds and with no modifications it is level and rides great. After my last camping trip I couldn't be happier
350, DRW,

 

Good plan, and it could save you some buck$!

I just towed my older 34' 14K 5er last weekend. The truck did fine with no air bag assistance needed. Looked to be spot-on level wise.

 

Airbags must be the gold standard in leveling...I get that they are infinitely adjustable, but I don't get spending that much. I used Timbren bump stop replacements on my last truck and the truck just couldn't squat more than 2 inches. Seemed to me they worked just as well and only cost about $200.
