Do I need airbags?
I just purchased my first FW last week. When hooking up, the rear of my truck squats around 4-5 inches. I have towed the FW on a short camping trip and the FW towed very nice, but the rear does sag ...

Heck I throw 300 lbs of firewood in the bed and still only have 30 lbs of air in bags to sit level. As long as you have E rated tires your good to go!
Not really. The stock 245 E tires on my 2500HD put me about 500 lbs =under= the RAWR. By going to 265 E's, I pick up over 800 lbs in tire capacity, which puts me =over= my RAWR.

Not sure how that can be? Usually the tire is the limiting factor on that generation of truck.
My stock listed 245/75-16E have 3,042# capacity ea. for an axle rating of 6,084.
The factory Optional 265's take that to 6,830# tire capacity, but doesn't change the sticker still 6,084#.
Somebody in the desert is confused!
