    Has anyone had any experience with roadmaster springs for your trucks when towing?

    No experience with different springs, but it seems they would affect the ride when unloaded (read firm). Have you considered airbags? There when you need them, not when you don't. I have a magnetic sensor and an onboard compressor setup. No filling, no adjustment. Just drop on the load, and the truck automagically levels itself. Ride is completely unaffected when unloaded.

    12" suspension lift so i wouldn't be able to do air bags. No reputable shop is wanting to fabricate something due to safety concerns. Even tried to see if companies would build an air bag system for my truck but most of them only mess with chevy ford or dodge amd don't do custom work.
