Suspension Options

[rkeiser]

We have a 2012 Passport 2890RL. We use the Reese Straight-line weight distribution hitch. Our previous tow vehicle was a 2004 Tahoe which I added Firestone Ride Rite air bags to help with rear sag. We recently purchased a 2014 F-150 Super Crew 4x4. I feel the back end is a little soft. Does anyone have an opinion on the Ride Rite air bags VS Super Spring leaf springs?

I think ride rite is the only way to go had them on my Titan and have them on my Sierra 3500 also installed them on many customer vehicles without a complaint, the big thing is that they are a bolt on product that has a totally controllable load range

Leaf springs increase the stiffness unloaded, and can level the load. Airbags are barely noticeable unloaded with 5lbs of air, and can level the load. Springs never leak.
What is more important, never leak, or barely noticeable unloaded?

When considering options, don't pass up Timbrens without giving them consideration. Quickest of the options to bolt on. Like deflated air bags, I don't notice them. As you add load, they do their job. When I go to a bigger truck, they will be first in my list of considerations.
