Wintersun, How do you like them supersprings? Would like to get uninstall my airlift 5000 airbags since they are worthless on Dodges due to their placement between axle and bed box. Create more sway when inflated with more than 10 psi.
While I'm not Wintersun, and I don't have the supersprings, I DO have a 2006 Dodge diesel 4x4 crew cab shortbed and I added the Hellwig 4-leaf overload springs to the rear of my truck. (I have a 2012 Lance 855S)
I bought them on Amazon here;

They require a mount kit found on Amazon as well;

I have already installed the Pac-Brake air bags. I run them at 55psi with fair success. However I do have some roll on the body where the road surface goes off-camber or if I weave with the wheel a little. Certainly doesn't make me feel like I could take any sort of serious evasive action if an emergency presented itself. That's why I decided to give the springs a try.
They really did the trick for the rear end. Much more stable on sudden maneuvers. I still put 25 psi in the air bags but just to add a bit more lift on the rear. There's still some body sway on the front suspension though. I'm thinking of upgrading the front coil springs to help with that but so far have not found any recommendations for a brand.
