curious if anyone makes shocks that you can adjust the ride height without removing the strut from the truck, like a coilover set-up... my truck is leveled but i haul a trailer occasionally and would like to adjust the rear shocks to maintain the level look. id like to be able to hook up the trailer then raise the rear shock to get the level look, and vise versa when i unhook the trailer... just brain storming... i dont want to add a leaf or a taller blocks...

Do they still make air shocks? I had a set of them on an old 77 F150. The air nozzle was installed in a drilled hole of the rear bumper. I could easily add air to level the back end whenever I had a heavy load in nthe bed, or with a large tongue weight.

Man, totally forgot about air shocks. We had a set on our Pontiac 85 Pontiac Parisienne. We would hook our waverunner up then go to the gas station and air the rears up. It was HILARIOUS w/out a load on it though.

this sounds like a damn good option! are you able to deflate them so its only using the leaf springs when empty? i wonder how much $$ this setup would be?
