Re: Load level kit
The only thing I can think of would be to add factory style overload springs. They are on my stock 3/4 ton and it gives it some leveling when it's loaded or pulling a trailer.

Re: Load level kit
I would think so too. You could also put actual lift springs on back.

Re: Load level kit
What you need is a "helper" air spring. Take a look at what Airlift has to offer- LINK
You can run them with a small compressor, or just fill them witha schrader valve. They work great with a lowered truck.

Re: Load level kit
Air bags are the way to go,and the in cab controls are nice too.
Have installed lots of the Firestone set ups. They can still be run with axle flips and c notches. I removed a set off my 84 which is flipped and notched when i started prepping the frame for another project.
