well, i dont really tow with it. Ive had refridgerators and stoves crap like that on my bed. Havent put anything on it since the drop. But I am looking to buy the air bag helper kit because the drop does cause the back end to bottom out. So the bags will keep the clearance, and if i want to tow something, i can. and still have the nice dropped look

ive seen some stuff on GMFS.... some kits run about 350 and you can get the aircompressor with guages kit for another 250. seen some on summit racing.

anyone else care to chime in on the air bag helper kits, whats available, what works and what doesnt?

thanks

came across this, says its up to 4" rear drop, but on the bottom where the description is, it says even for flip kits?

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AIR-59103/

that's just bags and mounts, not tank, compressor or gauges. take a look into doing a full kit price vs part it out ya know

when you open the link, on description, it has a tab for suggested parts. Check out the second one on the list part # 25592, will that work? Has a compressor and guages. For $145

i dont see why it can't work....find a small tank for cheap somewhere and put that on there vs having to turn the compressor on just to air them up. i can't tell if it allows you to dump the air or not.
