Comparing Air Bags and Timbrens for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500 Cab and Chassis
Question:
Why would I spend more than double for air bags that require more maintenance than simply get the Timbern rear suspension for my 2015 Chevrolet 3500 single rear?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The biggest benefit air bags like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs part # AL88339 have over jounce springs like the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRTT35D for a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Cab and Chassis is that they are adjustable meaning you can adjust the psi inside each air bag for the best mix between support and comfort. If you are looking for a low maintenance, set and forget option then the Timbrens will serve you better but if you are really looking to fine tube your setup then go with the airbags.
