Default Leveled but?

Leveled my truck and love it except when I tow my 24' boat the back tends to sit down a little. Les Schawb wants over $600 for air bags but there must be other options. Schawb says no other options. Anyone got any suggestions? It only squawks coupe inches. Thank you. Oh 5.5 bed 4x4 super crew

You can buy helper springs that bolt to your current leaf springs

The Firestone/Ride rite 2350 is a true no-drill kit and easy to install. I put mine on myself in about 1.5 - 2 hrs. and that was taking the time to be my typical fussy self. I think the kit was around $300.

No they won't. Tell them (Schwab) to look into the Hellwig helper springs. The Firestone bags are nice because they're adjustable (with air) to your preference. The Hellwigs may stiffen up your ride without a load but if they're progressive, it shouldn't change much. As for the price, unless you're going to install them yourself, prepare to pay a couple/few hundred in labor.

Super Springs will assist with a load but sit normally when there's not. They bolt on and worked great with a 32ft bumper pull with a 1/2 ton truck. http://www.supersprings.com/
