$180 for the Hellwig springs with the quiet ride dampeners.

Yea I've never used the load distribution set up on any rig. My expeditions showed no difference with one and my superduty doesn't level out to front even with a cherokee all the way forward on the trailer. Know your rig and be smart when loading up your rig.

You should try a weight dist hitch It does help a lot.  Great your good but would be better with one.  I used to not use one too.

Men, what we have here is a good old fashion d*** measuring contest.

I like the fact that now a days everyone says you need a diesel to pull a 5000lb camp trailer when back in the days when our parents pulled trailers they were twice as heavy and they pulled them with 1/2 ton chevys and fords with the V8's that half the torque and HP numbers we have now a days. My family has pulled a lot of camp trailers over the last 40 years and not one of them has ever had air bags.
Do what ya want, it's your money.

Surprised that thing has any tongue weight. Crap, it's like the rear has a lift kit..what's the length beyond the rear axle on that trailer?



Airbags improved the ride on the duramax by 100% towing. The Chevy springs are notoriously wimpy. They bottom out which is no good. I don't have my f 350 bagged. The only time it gets buried is when I get a big load of 5/8- at the pit up the road.

Bag the 2500 duramaxs. They need it. Squishy ride and springs.

I've never owned ford or dodge, so I can't really compare from personal experience.  However,  I think my duramax does just fine with a load and no air bags.  Sits pretty damn level considering what it's hooked to.  Now I have seen some dodge trucks with headlights pointed to the sky in several rv parks.
