Default What size ?

I am semi new to the form and need advice. I have a 2004 F150 supercab 4x4 3.73s. I am thinking of doing a small lift(4 inches) and am thinking 35s or something close but heres the catch... i tow all the time and i hate the sag most lifted trucks have with a load on the back. So does anyone know a set of airbags so the back wont sag that will work with a 4 inch lift ?

This.

We have Ride Rites on our F350. The set cost about $350, and man, what a difference they make.

Another cheaper option might be to get an AAL.

The bags or AALs?

Either way, they should work. Our F350 had a 4" lift, and the bags were fine.
