air bags

I sorry, I didn't mean for this post to become an heated argument. either way I did ordered the Firestone air bags, they suppose to come in Friday. The hitch is in the correct place. I will stop at a weigh station on my way to Seadrift, TX. next month. Again thanks for all the info.

And let put this monkey to rest. Thanks again.

Thanks guys. Nice others have similar thoughts.

We had a 1999 Ford F250 which we pulled a Sunny Brook 5th wheel with. The hitch was just heavy enough that it sat the springs on the overloads which made for a rough ride. I installed Firestone air bags and it leveled the pickup and made it ride really nice.

His truck is not squatted any more than yours really. The difference is his is 2wd and yours is 4wd. Your truck looks lower in the rear than the front like his. I know you have more weight than what he claims to have but once you hit the overloads it takes a lot of weight to go much more.

A 2wd pick-up looks funny when loaded up because they already sit so low.

You could be right my Dad'sDually 2wd same exact truck as mine sits lower also.

I wish he would respond and tell what his rear axle weighs.

Sit your trailer on your dad's truck and see what it looks like.;)

The 13 and 14 are basically the same, only difference will be, when they add the air bag part to the 14's....other than that, they're identical...( the airbag addition is an option).

And they have overloads, correct?

I guess that is what they're called now...I know one can go to Allpar and look up the 2013' and 2014 and can find pictures of the frame and front and rear suspensions...

I don't know if I've ever posted a picture of it larry, but it's an 06', (rest of information in one of my sigs), but still looks pretty nice for a 5er that is heading to 7 yrs old.

If I can get the hang of showing a picture, I will:)
