Air bags or helper springs to a Max Trailering Package TV??

So i've got a 2015 Silverado 1500 with the max trailering package. Just wondering if anyone has put in air bags or helper springs on that setup and what their thoughts were on it?

Thanks in advance!
  • Have to agree with Bryan if that's the trailer you are towing with your truck...

    Add whatever you feel you need to, but that's a BA trailer!

    Good luck!

  • 2X on tires (probably "P") and then OEM shocks (I went with Blistein's)

    I also installed Air-Lift bags, but use them for leveling only.
  • This is a 35' trailer with a GVWR over 11,000 pounds....

    You can keep bolting helper items on your truck, but at the end of the day, it's still a half-ton with half-ton axles, brakes, frame, and powertrain.
  • Whats your issues?

    If the GM reciever is still attached to the bumpers I would start there. Then the crappy GM shocks .

    Then tow and make a determination.
