    You may just need to raise the hitch ball height if you can , or even go to higher weight distribution bars to transfer a little more weight to the front of the truck. I am guessing with the lift on your truck you may be set up for a "softer riding truck". Even just adding airbags to the rear of the truck may help. Just spitballing ideas here.

    Thank you all for your feedback, I’m hoping to get info on wether helper springs may do the job vs airbags. I haven’t got any experience in these areas, but if helper springs will do, I just saved 600-1000.00...

    Helper springs will stiffen your non towing ride. What is the loaded tongue weight on your TT?

    Hi James,

    I obviously misunderstood the question .
    I thought you were trying to lift the Imagine to match the lift that you have added to the truck.

    How was the lift added to the truck rear suspension? Is changing from the regular 2 leaf rear springs to the HDPP 3 leaf rear springs an option?

    James,
    Your empty tongue weight is just under 800lbs. Typically its not hard to have another 300lbs added once the rig is loaded. Have you weighed the TT and TV on a cat scale? Knowing the weights will help in determining what to do to level things out.

    Also what is listed on the yellow tag inside the drivers door of your truck for max payload?

    I am getting ready to pull the trigger on suspension aids.
    Do I go with helper springs or air ride kit?
    I drive my truck all day for work, we go out on 6-7 trips a year, live in Canada, Ottawa, harsh winters. I’m using the blue ox weight distribution system already but I need to come up about 2” still to level off. My truck has a 4” lift kit installed.

    Thanks in advance

    IMHO air spring are way more versatile. You can increase or decrease your spring rate as needed. You will be able to maintain you empty ride and, by adding air, be able to level your truck when towing. Most helper spring won't give you this option. Air springs are worth the extra cost IMO. The problem might be finding air bags for a lifted truck.
