    Hello All, I pull my 2015 Dutchman Aerolite 288RLSS with my 2012 Tundra SR5 TRD 4x4 and an Reese Weight dist. kit and sway control. We made numerous trip to Oregon, Washington and back to Florida without problems. (not to mention multiple trips to the NE) I believe if I purchase the Firestone Ride-Ride air helper #F2445 353.50 it would help with the porpoising from bumps in the road. Any thoughts????

    It makes it easier on those leaf springs and softens the ride. Sounds like you got it right, WDH first, then bags just to dial it in.

    will help with any remaining sag after your WDH setup and with towing/hauling. As in life, make one change and it can impact other things- Air bags can make the ride rougher unloaded.

    Are your shocks worn out? Tire pressure high enough?
