It's time for new shocks, at least on the rear.
Anyone tried air shocks?
Looking for a small amount of adjustment, without ruining the ride.

No problems with the tires or traction.
I'm looking to take the rocking out of the bed area. 2000lbs in the bed all the time, center of gravity is a bit high.
I had right rite airbags on my last truck, they were awesome.
They recommended filling them individually.
I linked them together with a hose and single fill stem instead.
Basically an adjustable sway bar on steroids.
If the same would work with airshocks, that would solve 2 problems at once.

Beware of hooking them together. I've heard a couple times that this could actually make rocking worse. The air will shift to the inside when the outside gets compressed when cornering making it tip even worse. No experience with it, just what I've read.

2012 CCSB Saddle Brown Pearl... DRD tuned
Bags installed today. Ran them separately, two fill stems on the drop hitch. Going to get 2 tees and a ball valve. 1/4” compression, cheap and easy upgrade. It would allow even fill with the valve open, then the option to run them together or separately.
To my surprise, it takes very little air pressure, the set the truck level. 5 to 10 psi, to raise the rear 3/4”

if you run into any issues with mud or debris hitting those fill stems in that location , another good place to put them as i did the same thing running 2 lines. the hard plastic molding that is behind your license plate. I drilled holes and put them there, no bending over and at night with running lights on I could see them. you did a Awesome job . on my last truck i had firestone bags and used Bilstein 5100's as well but it was part of a lift kit with new coils and control arms etc. I also added a leaf to my leaf pack which when driving empty it put the truck rear up about 1/2. the bags i kept 5 or below when empty. when i was empty and had bags higher than 10psi my rear felt some tail wag. You will get it dialed in.
oh and you will get some rubbing over time putting the air line over the trac bar. if you like that spot and want to keep it there, get some bicycle tire tubing and cut some pieces to protect the air lines where ever they are likely to rub.

No better friend, No better enemy.
Given it lots of thought. Everyone seems to love the Bilstein 5100’s. Plan to put those all the way around. Cheapo eBay 2” lift for the front, air bags the rear. Just want the truck to ride better, stop rocking at high speeds & sit closer to level. Waiting on shipping now, the front shocks are factory back ordered

Big fan here of 5100's.
I have a friend who is very mechanically skilled & talented & always thinks outside the box like crazy - we kinda feed off each other but - I'm like Tim the Tool Man Taylor!
Anyway he installed his rear air bags with stainless steel line instead of the plastic hose that comes with the kits! I think he did have 6" of braided hose on each connection to allow for flex...
I might offer him a few cold beers and supper if he will supervise me doing mine...
Thank you for taking the time to post the pics!
