Should I Plan (budget) for Air Bags on New DRW

[FlyingChief]

I added air bags on my F350 CC LB SRW to level it out. As I get ready to buy a new DRW, I'm curious if I'm going to need to plan to add them to the new truck. Will it squat enough that I'll need them to level this one out, too?

Try it first, then decide. I would maybe set the funds aside and if you decide you don't need the bags use that money for another adventure in the outdoors.

I added them to my DRW even before I purchased my toy hauler. I had them on my 3/4 ton and really liked them, so I went with them again.

I don't need them on my Silverado, it actually sits just about perfect with the 5er connected. A lot of guys I know with Dodges add them to make the ride softer. I don't know how much difference they make for that, but they seem to swear by them. I think it's a personal preference.

X2; Never even put any thought into buying Airbags. Current TV handles the Raptor with no issues. As stated, try it out first.

I did swap out the OE shocks for Bilstein 4600s. I think they are a much better ride especially for towing. I've put them on my last 3 trucks and love them. I waited too long to change them out on the 3500. I think the OE shocks are only good for about 40k, I went to 80k and they were completely shot. I changed them on my 2500 at 35k, the OEs still had some rebound left, but nothing like they should have.

Thanks to all for the responses!
