Default nnbs low and towing???

I have a nnbs crew cab and I haul a car hauler with a jeep or some other toy all the time. Its been stock for awhile and I recently dropped it 2/4. Is there anyone out there going lower and still pulling a heavy trailer? I'd really like to keep from chopping the frame.

This is maxh from gmfullsize, he might be on this site too.. He's currently lowered 5/8. Get some helper bags and you'll be set.

Not sure what thread it is in but I know he has posted it up. Check out the thread "slammed rides with no bags" or something like that. Think he talked about it in there

MY dads nnbs cc is on 3/4 and 22's. We use Air lift slam air helper bag kit, and air lift wireless controller setup. Works great, Have the same setup on my 06 nbs cc 3/6 drop. All bolt on, and all works great

used for nnbs 4-6" of drop
Air Lift Company Slam Air; Adjustable Air Springs; For Lowered Trucks - 2 Wheel Drive

Comes with line and fittings to r7un just an air schrader if you wanna do it on the cheap

Or you can run any of these for onboard air. I have used both wireless kits and they work great.

Old *** thread, yes however....anybody have experience using the Air Lift 1000 on their full size SUV? I have an 08 avalanche that's lowered using Belltech (I think) springs. Just have McGaughey's spindles up front and like a 3" drop in the rear. Even with 300lb tongue weight, it's sitting on the bump stops. Does the Airlift 60769 designed for my truck fit into the pockets of a lowered spring or do I have to get a shorter one?
