    I am thinking about adding the airbags and the TRD sway bar.
    When I hook up my trailer with the airbags do I level with airbags first and the hook up WDH?
    What would my process be?
    I hope I am being clear, if not I will try and explain further.
    Thanks.

    A little of this and a little of that.
    I might be wrong but I would hook up the trailer to be towed then level out with the bags.:notsure:

    I'm still new to towing, but with the WDH you want to hook up, then level the trailer and truck before you put the spring bars on. So I would imagine that you would set you airbag ride height when you level the truck and trailer. Then attach and secure the spring bars.

    Since I don't have the airbags, I go up a little higher than level before I put the spring bars on.

    If your wdh is set up properly you shouldn't sag much and don't necessarily need air bags. I added airbags to my tundra because I read a lot about how they improve ride while towing which is true rides much better with wdh and bags. So the way I do mine is I hook up wdh bars and all then I aired up the bags till truck barely moved up mine took 25psi then I just set bags to 25psi every time I tow my camper. Made truck ride much better. If you use wdh then jack up back end with airbags you will defeat the purpose if the wdh. As far as the sway bar I purchased the TRD bar last year haven't installed it yet.

    Which brand or model of airbag could anyone recommend? My ride is a 2016 dc. Towing about a 3500 lb loaded tt in colorado with wdh. Some of the towing is rough dirt road.
    Thanks for any thoughts! New poster trying to learn from the pros!
