I'm no fan of air bags. If one fails though, it's not the end of the world. Empty the air from the other one and continue on down the road until you can replace the broken one.

But when one of those air bags fail, the sagging will be the cause of being stranded on the side of the road. And yes they will fail!

When the truck is squatted down below level in the rear with the load, you get wallowy steering, poor braking and headlights blinding oncoming traffic.

If a truck is loaded under it's GVWR and RGAWR, the truck should not be squatting below level in the rear, if it's suspension has been properly spec'd by the manufacturer to carry it's full rated capacity. Therein lies the problem. They don't spec the springs to carry the full load properly (level).

Hopefully you're right and Ford's new 450 pickup springs won't be sagging anymore. Knowing Ford, I'm not holding my breath.

Kinda sorta what I was saying.

Tell me what I said is not true

When a truck sits LEVEL with a big load the truck is doing what it's advertised to do. When the rear is BELOW level that is not so good.

Too many people think they need to have the truck ride with the same stance loaded or unloaded. Then they drive around with the TV rear high and the RV nose high, they they complain about ride quality.

The rear air ride in alt ride ht on the 3500 RAM's do ride nearly level loaded or un loaded.
