How much weight are you pulling? How much tongue weight?

Air Bags are the BEST option and are adjustable. Adding a leaf will also work but will give you a harsher ride all the time.

i had a add a leaf on my 08 1500 and it helped with the sag alot and did not affect the ride at all

Lol look at your ride!!! Dont u act like $400 is alot! An yes, they are alittle pricey... Prally more like $500+ once you gather few things for install. More if paying for an install(who does this tho)...

lol you got me there i was just looking at 1" lift blocks for the rear of mine because when i was towing my mud truck it sagged the rear a lil due to the leveling kit. they want $149 for blocks with new u bolts or i can get ride rites with out a compressor for $400!

Get the compressor! If you do bags, do em rite and you will enjoy them and be envied!
