Describe bumpy ride as in Pogo stickin' like in worn out shocks.... chunking like in freeway hop...... harsh like in too much air pressure in the trucks tires.
We have no idea how much weight the 2500 is carrying but a 25.5 TT or 5th wheel trailer doesn't seem like enough weight to justify air bags unless the 2500 truck carrying close to max rear axle loads. Air bags on a lite loaded rear axle may make a really harsh ride.
I'm not a fan of Bilstien shocks but if your '02 truck has the OEM shocks they would work better.
