All of the suspension enhancement products are designed to improve the ride of a properly functioning factory suspension system. The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit options are great at assisting whether loaded or unloaded. There are two different options depending on if you have top overload springs or not. If you have the factory top overload springs you will want # RAS3611-SLHD. If you do not have the factory top overload springs then you will want # RAS3611-S.

The really nice function of the active suspension system is that you can adjust the tension coil spring for your preference and then it becomes maintenance free. This will be the best system for a no-maintenance ride.

If you prefer adjustability, then air bags will be the best option allowing you to customize your ride at any time. For the best ride I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2597 along with the Firestone Ride-Rite LS Rear Shock Absorbers # F4351 which are designed to work together on your vehicle. This system comes with manual inflation valves, but you may also be interested in a compressor system like # F2158. This combination is the most versatile for the best custom ride. I've attached videos to assist.
