For all you F350 and Chevy/Dodge 3500 folks...
Air bags or No bags? Truck model and year, please.

I put them on my 06 F350 SRW with autolevel just because I knew the Redwood would overload it, and it did. The airbags helped get it home from texas but that was the end of the ride.
I had the Dealer put them on my 08 F350 DRW. They are not required, but they do let me set the ride to perfectly level. I run them at 80psi.

My 2012 F350 has the load leveling airbags and I love them. If you want your truck to ride like a 1/2 ton add the Kelderman air-ride too ($4300). My wife can read a magazine while going down the highway.

2013 GMC 2500HD Duramax with SRW, Timbren Jounce Style Heavy Duty Springs on rear suspension, Hijacker 21K, Trailair Tri Glide pin box. 2012 RW 31SL Rides level and tows like a dream. Used the Jounce rubber springs instead of air bags and am quite satisfied with their performance. (Had Firestone Ride Rites on previous trailer.)

Based on conversations with some fellow Redwood owners, and the age of our truck and quality of roads, we are going to put air bags on our DRW Dodge 3500 (2008 model) we are also going to install the Trailair pin box on our coach.
