2wd leveling kit

I got a 2000 3500 dually 2wd that i put a 2inch leveling kit in 15k miles ago I put air bags in 5k miles ago, I bought it from bobs big toys on ebay. Its killing my front end and the ride sux, ball joints are shot and my front end is makin really bad squeeking noises. I do alot of towing and if I put a heavy load on the back with the bags full it feels like the front end comes off the ground over rough bumps. Is there a difference in brands material they are polyerathane any help would be much appreciated. Thanks guys

how much air pressure are you running?? with a full bed/towing or when empty?

if you have the rear so full of air that it lifts the front, then there is way too much air in the bags!

when theres no load on the back maybe 20 with load 80 90, but before i had bags it rode worse. Could I have spun the coil springs when i put them back in would that have made a diff?

I'm not sure what your max psi is susposed to be but, maybe try measuring the height from the ground to the bottom edge of the rear fender, hook up the trl or load the bed, then air back up but dont exceed the stock ride height, it should ride and handle better

I have bags on my 01 2500 2wd, the leaf springs are still there. I run 0 lbs when empty and around 25 lbs when pulling trailer. It i put bags at 80 lbs my front bumper would be on the ground.
