    Hi All,
    I have a 2016 Crewmax SR5. I've installed ADS 2.5" remote reservoir shocks front and rear, as well as Deaver 9 leaf springs in the rear. I've found when I'm fully loaded or towing a heavy trailer, my truck still squats pretty severely, even with the upgraded springs.

    I'd like to install some airbags with a remote controller and connect them to my ARB Twin compressor. I'm currently looking at Firestone and Air Lift. The shop I'm working with has quite a bit of experience with heavy-duty trucks (F350 and Ram 3500) and they claim to have had the most success with Firestone. Has anyone had success with these airbags?

    Also, it's not clear to me if I need a bag with an internal jounce bumper, or if I can simply leave them at 5 PSI until my truck is loaded. Any advice there?


    Thanks in advance,
    Todd
