Be a man, buy a real truck - get rid of that 1/2 ton stuff and be done with this silly thread.....?
Air bags first.
I think I'd air bag it or air shock it 1st...As for the 1 ton dually.....Extra long chassis so you can woodgas it...other wise with the price of gas going back up...you'll have lots of time to look at it in the driveway
Air bags work and are a proven technology. Look at the new big rigs tons of them on air. A good friend of DS and mine has a 1/2 ton GMC and pulls a 24 H&H enclosed trailer from here in Lincoln to LS. He has an WD hitch but as still not happy with the way the rear of the truck carried the weight. He had air bags put in and after his first trip down he never looked back. He loves them. Let the pressure out when empty no effect on ride quality, have to haul a load fill them back up and go. I am going to put them on my 3/4 ton for that extra stability under heavy load. Cheaper than a new truck. I strongly recommend the air bag. I would spend the extra money and go air bag instead of air shock. Air shock requires x pressure at all times to keep from harm. I would also plumb them in side independent. So your air is not able to flow between the sides. IE get on a side hill and the low side gets lower. \I have seen the air bags work for Allan on his rig and am sold. He will be at October sand in your beer fest I am sure. Just a extra note always be sure your tires are able to carry the load your new spring can support.
