I am looking at either the Air-Lift bags that go inside the coils, or replacing my factory shocks with Monroe Max-Air adjustables. I pull either a 24' boat or a 26' travel trailer and they both make the back end sit down a bit, even with an equalizer hitch for the trailer. 2018 1500 Laramie

go with the airbags, you can drop the air pressure to 5 psi and the truck will ride just like stock. Shocks and their mounts are not intended for supporting a load.

I have the Air Lift 1000 HD bags inside the coils and they are great. I pull a 26' 7" Keystone 225 MK, and it definitely addresses the squat.

The Airlift 5000 bags are more expensive and heavier duty, but they go on the axle outside the coils. They are a good option, but I went with the 1000 HD.

Good luck.

I run the Airlift 1000HD bags as well. Aside from a slight pain of an install, they work great! I tow a 32ft camper, and run between 12-15psi and it rides perfectly! One thing I will say is if you live in a state where they Brine the roads in the winter, use 1/4 fuel hose clamps instead of provided clamps as they rust out quick.
