Im not a fan of air backs. I dont like the ride and maintenance. Especially the ride when not towing...
I upgraded my shock to bilsteins. Im a bilstein guy a long time... Ranchos put a bad taste in my mouth 30 years ago when I had many shocks breaking on me..
Junk IMO..
But thats a argument like giants vs jets..
I also went with sumo springs. as I want my nice ride when unloaded. Takes about 200lbs to hit the sumos. They are good for 900 lbs more I assume.
They sit 2" of so away from axle unloaded.
I had some sag in rear when fully loaded. The sumos took care of that. and the bilsteins took away the porposing I had, but I think that was the factory GM hitch I had. I have since change that..
And I dont know what shocks are in your truck. But look at the difference here compared to the OEM''s Like night and day... Old shocks had only 75k miles on them...
