    I use Timbrens but, also don't Max out my tongue weight. I rarely feel them. Wanted to stay away from compressors and hoses.

    i also use timbrens. i only tow every once in a while and they work great. when im not towing i remove the timbren spring and put in my wheelers super bumps. takes about 5 mins to do the switch. best of both worlds

    I use air bags when towing, When I'm not towing I drain the bags..The shocks don't have anything to do with height.

    I have 1.5" shackles, so I use Timbrens and 1.5" spacers. When not towing most of the year, the spacers take me about 10min to remove so I'm not harshly hitting the setup in day-to-day driving over bumps etc (with spacers):

    imho if you tow a lot, Airbags probably feel better because you adjust the psi based on load. I only tow about 3-4x/year, I like the frame free when not towing, and set it forget it aspect, Airbags are always in contact with the frame.

    This.

    OP, your choices are mainly Airbags, Timbrens, Sumosprings, Hellwig Helpers for suspension support. And levelling is done with a WDH.

    My Firestone airbags are performing well. We've towed our 6,000 pound 5th wheel (1,050 pound hitch weight) 7,250 smooth miles with zero issues
