Adding airbags to my 2500, brand and style recommendations?

Thanks - I edited my post after I thought about it being a 2500. In that case it would be at 8-90% of the 6K.

The goal is leveling side to side.

With only lifting/lowering the rear the side to side effect will be minimalized, but it will do something. I wouldn't count on it as your primary means of leveling.

The goal is leveling side to side. If I still have to carry leveling equipment, then there isn't any point.

Air bags aren’t designed to level the truck at a campsite. They are designed to assist the rear suspension while carrying a heavy load.

Thanks - but if they could, that would be extremely useful. Sometimes all that is needed is an inch to make sleeping inside a lot more comfortable.

The money is already spent on the hardware, so it is really just a matter of implementation.

Designed or intended? Either way they can easily allow the rear of the truck to raise or lower to obtain a more level stance while parked. Nothing against their design to utilize them for that. I’ve done it on the auto-level by going from alt to normal or bed lowering to be level without unhitching and on the manual bags of the 05 I lifted the rear a few times to do the same.

They aren’t overly effective and blocks still need to be carried, but it’s not out of line with their design specs in the least.

Both.
