Re: air bag help

Is your rear suspension the trailing arms or is it leaf springs?

Re: air bag help

In my opinion, you would be fine with an Air Lift Dominator 2600 bag, which has a load rating of 349-3055 lbs each. You do have to take into account the weight of your truck. I think this bag or even a comparable Slam SS7 will work out for you towing a trailer with mowers, etc.

I had nearly a ton of hay in the back of my '69 with RE6 bags in the rear without issue. Had about 85psi to sit at ride height loaded. Road like a dream, too.
