Airbags are a bandaid. Super Springs are the answer along

Thanks for the replies.
cewillis - I like your idea, but no shop or talent
Super Dave- I read so much on here about air bags giving height, but also instability, used mostly for side to side levelling. No experience with them and from the replies here, a lot of people swear by them. Overloads - wish the truck came with them, that's why I thought the Super springs would work.
1mtnman - thought about Timbresn and Stableloads, but was in a quandary. Again I thought the super springs would compromise here. Are these Bilstein's the 4600's. The dealer I talked with thought the Monroe shock would work better but also offered the Bilstein.
Now I have lots to think about and will get back with my decision. thanks again

We have a 2013 Wolf Creek 850 on a 2005 Chevy 2500HD (no Overloads), with the Duramax with 120,000 miles on it. I still have the original shocks. Truck rides fine with the load but I get about a 3 inch sag in the back from the empty position. I am thinking about Monroe Reflex Light Truck shocks vs. Bilstein 4600’s and adding Super Springs. I do a lot of back country camping for fishing and hunting as well, and it performs just fine. I also pull a Cargo Trailer which adds to the sag in the rear a little, when attached. I have read all the posts on here and get confused as to the best route to take. First I am wondering about the shock choice, and then if the Super Springs will help with the sag in the rear.
I am very impressed with all the knowledge and experience on this site and it is my daily read each morning. Any ideas or comments would sure be appreciated. Oh, Love our Wolf Creek 850, after many campers, 5th wheels and travel trailers.

My vote is air bags, no compromise in ride or height.
