Air bag ?

I was looking in the search button but didnt find anything. Does anyone use these on a 1500 or 150 serries truck? I have a 06 gmc sierra denali p/u with the 410 gears. I have timbrens on there now but she still has a little sag with our new() keystone springdale 323bhs. I was looking for a set of airbags but I cant find a listing for my truck any were. Its either 1500 2 or 4wd or 1500hd 2 or 4wd but nothing for the awd sierra.

OK here we go, i think that's too much trailer for that truck. Just my 2cents.
Make sure the WD bars are tight enough to balance the load front to back on the truck.

Np, I wont argue and I appreciate the input. Its well under its wieght limit(10k with 410gears) but I will say she is heavy for the truck and once we start adding cargo itll get real close. I do plan on a diesel here with in the next 6 months or so and dont have any hills to speak of on the delaware penninsula. When I hook it up the TT actually lifts the back of the truck almost off the ground while adding the bars so they are real tight.

Air Bag?

I installed Firestone Ride Rite's on my 2010 Chev Silverado 1500. I tow a 2011 Bullet 278RLS (actual hitch weight 835 lbs). Air bags made all the difference. No sag, no bounce on the road. I inflate to 30 psi. That seemed to be the best for my situation. They worked for me. Not everyone on this forum will agree.

If you're looking at a diesel in the next 6mos or so, won't the Timbrens get you through? If you have rear spring suspension you're a little more limited to Firestone-style proper airbags than the cheap ones those of us with coil spring suspension have available.
I like the fact that the Timbrens spread the weight across another pair of points along the axle...
Not much help, sorry. Not sure if there is an inexpensive fix for ya.
