I have a f-250 2x4 with a 5.8L engine and 5 speed.... I haul a Firewood trailer that is 8' x 16' with 36" tall sides. I would guess that the trailer weighs about 1500lbs and the loaded trailer weight is between 4500 and 7000lbs
The "issue" I would like to fix is that as I load the trailer the back of the truck starts Dragginass.
I am considering three options to resolve this issue.
1.) Add an additional leaf spring... $300. Problem is that I don't want the truck looking like is all jacked up in the back when I am not hauling the trailer.
2.) Add adjustable air bags to the rear. $300 The problem I see with them is that they might not do what I want and I don't know how long they will actually last.
3.) Add a set of helper springs... $365 I don't know if there is a problem with this setup as I know nothing about them.
Please share your thoughts, knowledge, and experience with these.
Thanks!
