2006 1500 on Bilsteins all around. The fronts are maxed at 2.1". Truck sits perfectly level unloaded, but squats under a load. I'm not a fan of it. What's my best option? Here's a pic of my baseball team in it today... maybe 700 lbs max. I tow a small pop-up camper, and haul my quad or wood sometimes. Should I buy the timbren ses kit? Hellwig helpers? I'm lost!

I think some airbags in the bag would do what you need.

The Firestone Ride-Rites are reasonable and I have read good reviews on them

What's wrong with the Timbren SES kit that is specifically made for our trucks?

That's a very good question. First, although I think their individual pieces are priced very reasonably and I found their kits to be priced a little high plus the capability more then my needs required. They didn't have a kit specifically for a lowered truck, so I put together my own and it was so basically simple that it's what I recommend doing.. If they have a kit that suits your needs then I recommend using it.

I'm thinking about throwing a 1" rear spacer in and also going with the Timbren kit.

I would try the Timbren springs first as they may do everything you want without the spacer.
