Air Bags for rear of 3/4 ton ?

Hi I am looking at buying a 3/4ton with trailing arm suspension and want to use it to work with. I will be hauling 4000 pounds at times along with towing a trailer. I would like to know if there are air bags that would hold up to that kind od load as well as give me stck ride height. I dont want it to be sitting really low when loaded.

Thanks for the help,

Mario

I'm searching the forums for that exact question.

Look at the Slam Specialties HE or XE series in a 7 or 8" diameter. You will want to use mounting cups to take up the space between installed height of the bag and stock springs.

Wow this is like digging up a gave.

Glad you got a answer I ended up leaf sprung and air over leaf setup.

I don't think it's necessary to start a new thread - we just end up with multiple threads on the same subject, with partial answers fragmented all over the forums.

4-link with bags over axle if you plan on carrying any large amount of weight. Any larger bags should do the trick although look at the specs of them before buying of course. If the bags aren't over axle you will lose towing capacity the further they are placed away from the axle.
