Air over leaf
I'm looking to try and improve the ride on my '77 dually while still maintaining my towing capacity. My thought is to remove all but three our so leaves out of each spring pack and then add some 5000 pound towing bags. If anyone has done this, or has contemplated it, your thoughts would be appreciated.

I did this on a lowered dually once. removed springs from the pack and added helper bags for hauling stuff. worked well

Re: Air over leaf
Just did that on mine, rides great. I didn't use that big of a bag though, I used firestine 9000 tapered bags
