Jerry, thanks for clarifying while i was MIA last night.
Yes, my tow vehicle is a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500, crew cab, 5.3L, Max Trailering package. The trailering package includes:
NHT - MAX TRAILERING PACKAGE: * 9.76 REAR AXLE * 3.73 REAR AXLE RATIO * TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER * ENHANCED COOLING RADIATOR * REVISED SHOCK TUNING * HEAVIER DUTY REAR SPRINGS AND INCREASED RGAWR * TRAILERING EQUIPMENT PKG INCL AUTO LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL * WHEELS, 18" BRIGHT MACHINED
My GAWR RR is 4300 lbs.
I have load range E tires.
Right now everything sits pretty darn level.
What i'm hoping to accomplish with the air bags or helper springs is to take the bounce out of the rear end. Not the front to back jerk or bounce you sometimes get, but more of the side to side action.
Going down most highways and roads she rides fine. But theres some highway construction that i have to go through that makes it really noticable. It's like going through a roller coaster track right now the way they got those lanes twisting and turning.
Only reason i'm leaning towards the bags is because i can tune them as needed. Daily driving i can empty them or drop them way down. Mostly normal towing route, i can inflate them lightly just to level things a bit more or to hopefully take any bounce out. Rougher router, raise the pressure a bit more. But now this theory is based on nothing but my assumption of how these things work. Hence the reason i'm asking here.
So what do you think?
Keep in mind we only camp 2-3 (3) day weekends a month.
