Re: air bags for towing

I would recommend a 4-link setup with some heavier air bags. Most air springs are rated for around 2500 lbs., but keep in mind it has to hold up the truck also. So, some heavier rated bags and a good 4-link / hardware will be a good way to go. Firestone and Contitech would be some bags I would recommend.

I can get you a heavier universal 4-link setup, heavier bags, and anything else you may need to complete.

I would look more in to helper bags they go over the axle to the frame.Your springs will take the load but the bags will help level the load and smooth out the ride like a shock.
