leveling leaf spring blocks, add-a-leafs, air bags are what i use, i have a car hauler that will get tire interference with weight, if the hitch is too hi, im already a 9" drop, with a lift on the truck, air bags lift 4", add tons of xtra spring capacity, some systems are automated, mine is manual.

X2 on the air bags...


*Cheap

*easy fast install

*adjustable

*with 100psi, a cubic yard of sand only drops the rear 1" on mine...

Careful not to exceed the weight rating of your tires, it's easy to get carried away overloading your truck with air bags.

make sure you buy new ones. the aluminum end caps get pin holes in em and they leak quick.

Suprisingly cheap. I am a novice at this stuff but the prices I have seen are a lot more than that (throw the Kelderman name around). Thanks for the schooling "Tim and Soot". Do you have experience with the bags Randy??
