While I agree that heavier springs would be a better solution than airbags, I remain unconvinced that stableloads--which seek to add only one or two leaves (the overload leaves) provide a sufficiently meaningful increase in spring rate. I say this because I have had my truck loaded to the point that the rear overloads were compressed almost completely and they really didn't do much to help level the truck (otherwise it wouldn't have been squatting so badly, and it wasn't overloaded by much and the rear tires were not overloaded).
Airbags, on the other hand, will virtually completely level the truck even if it is grossly overloaded. I'm convinced that the mounts would break before the airbags would cease to support the weight.
As such, I run airbags with about 60 psi when loaded with camper. If I had a heavy trailer I'd just add more air.
