I can't seem to find what I should use. I pull a real heavy spray foam insulation trailer daily. Please help!9166358B-AF7A-4A6F-8D1D-41C2543E4DC1.jpeg

normally we just lift the fronts using new longer coil springs and longer shocks. That will give you Level. Are you looking to go higher in the rear?



Not if that works! Prob go 2.5 or 3” to level in the front and which would you recommend?

anything else that should be done after the leveling to keep the tires good or keep everything Aligned?

In that case do with the 4” BDS kit that retains your factory air ride. This will have all the brackets to relocate everything to keep your geometry correct. And yes an alignment is mandatory

Actually maybe I don’t have air ride I only have the air bags in the back.
Prob called something different maybe rear air leveling. That prob changes a bunch of what you have told me

No we are talking about the same thing. Different terminology,
