Same here. Have had them on all of my trucks with no issues.

Default Pro Comp 3"

I did a 3" Pro Comp and 2.5" rear block and I put on Firestone rear Air Bag kit for my Trailer. I love it, for most its not there thing but for me I admire it all the time....lol.......so many compliments on mY Truck it makes the Body feel Good hahahahahaha

Here is a few pics, I went bigger tires too BFG's 275/65/20 stock rims =34.1", and going to go even bigger to fill the space in there....35" or 36" BFG KM2's

If I had known I was going to do airbags, I would of gotten the 2" or 2.5".

And I personally think 2.5" front extra 1.5" rear (3" block) looks really good


what type of airbags did you install? how do they affect your ride quality? How much air pressure do you use when you are towing?

Do the airbags keep the rear from sagging when you tow?
How is the ride quality when aired up?

The ride quality is better because you have weight on your truck, the air bags keeps you head lights where there suppose to be, and keeps the front end stable from bouncing and handles like it should. (Air Bags don't mean you can haul more!!! ) keeps it level.......I don't use my air bags when empty no need for it....only if I was to haul something.

If your truck front end is raked back or higher pointed at the sky, means not enough weight on the front to keep it stable, therfore its going to bounce and handle like crap! Possibly causing you not have control and an accident. and your headlights won't be pointed where they should, or pointed to oncoming traffic blinding them.

i used a procomp 2" kit, when i measure the distance from the top of the wheel to the wheel well, i measured 15 3/8" at the back and 13 1/4 at the front, after the lift, measurement in the front was bang on to the back at 15 3/8", best leveling kit i ever used.

If you don't want to be nose high then go with 2 inch. 2.5 will make it sit nose high. I personally did 1 inch daystar and to me it sits perfect. Slight amount of rake, I think the front is 3/8 lower than the rear.

don't forget your rear springs are going to settle in time, you probally seen many lifted trucks with its nose high, alot of them are because they made there trucks perffectly level at the time of the Install.......read in 4x4 mags... alot about that sagging, when I had my other 4x4x's jeeps and 3/4tons.....I always added an extra leaf or made my block bigger for some rake.

I went 3" front and 2.5" aluminum block in rear......sits a bit high but when I put a quad or something heavy its level and don't have to use my air bags all the time......just saying , my .02cents worth..lol
