I just put on Airlift airbags on my 3500 and am finding that it is preventing the load from being carried on the overloads.
When I bought my camper in Ohio, it loaded up nicely and the truck sat with the frame perfectly level. I was happy with how it rode for the most part
Bill, reading your subsequent post about the eloquent solutions you're thinking of, go back to this statement. You didn't have a problem in the first place, for the most part.
Why the airbags are bottoming out before the suspension from another post, is a mystery. Possible you got 4wd bags or brackets and they're too tall for your 2 wheeler?
Like I mentioned, there's easily installed products or hacks that will engage both your overloads sooner, only raising ride height slightly and help with bottoming out. Don't over think it and use all the suspension you have on the truck before adding "more" suspension.
That's basically defeating the purpose if you want it to ride lower (more level) and some of your potential solutions will put you back in the same boat.
