With the trailer attached and camping stuff in the bed, it will squat a few inches. 20 pounds in the bags brings it all level. squat a few inches? I measure a whopping 1.5" squat with almost 3k in pin wt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do an onboard compressor, or do you just fill them up as needed? I did the onboard compressor with pressure gauge in the cab. This allowed fine tuning every time we towed, as with a 110-gal water tank up front, our pin weight varied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickqw14 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Airbags for sure make a big difference when towing but they will also make it ride worse when unloaded. I put Airlift airbags in two of my trucks along with a wireless compressor, it's not too difficult. If you do end up doing it I would recommend getting air bag cradles, this will prevent stiffening up the ride when unloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc121 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I’ll be hauling a truck camper as well as towing a travel trailer from time to time. Has anyone used Timbrens compared to airbags? I’m wondering if one is better than the other. The Timbren’s are far cheaper than the air bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
