Collin, my opinion would be to get air bags for your truck. Here's why...
* don't hate me Timbren and RAS folk! LOL!
We have an older gentleman that comes to our dealership just about everyday to pick up traded vehicles to take to wholesalers. He's probably close to 70 yo. and I completely trust this guy with any and all opinions he has as far as towing. He's been hauling heavy loads for most of his life. He has a new 2015 F450 6.7 with air bags and loads his trailer with about 4 cars/trucks constantly. Here's what he's told me:
1) Roadmaster Active Suspension is nothing more than a glorified helper spring.
2) Timbrens, now this is HIM people..not me, are the biggest waste of money as far as suspension enhancements he's ever seen. Glorified jounce bumpers he says.
Now...air bags. And he makes very good points here:
He said Todd (that's me!). "Who do you think knows more about towing heavy loads? Your RV dealer or a trucker with over 3 million miles under his belt?"
I said, "The trucker of course". He then said, "When was the last time you saw a 54' trailer hauling brick and block with leaf springs and Timbrens?" I assured him I never had. He then said, "What do you see when you're on the highway and you're behind a semi as far as suspension?" Then it dawned on me where he was going with this. From that day forward, I've used air bags and have never had a problem. No bounce..no sway..no sag..period. The single best investment I've ever made as far as towing.
Again, please don't hate me for this. I'm just letting you know what has been told to me...that's all.
