Lowering with factory air bags - Competition Diesel.Com

ISBand4BT · 08-09-2019, 01:48 PM

Looking for help on lowering my one ton but retaining the factory auto airbags. Main reason is as most of you know, these trucks sit high from the factory. My gooseneck horse trailer sits way high in the front. I can’t lower the hitch down any more or it’ll hit the bed. Any ideas other than flat bed?

Edit: it’s not the one ton in my profile pic

Guessing it's not enough, but these do lower some when put into tow mode correct? Seems I remember something about them doing that to help trailers sit level, I could be wrong though.

I had to weld a 4 in block in between my axles and trailer frame to get my fifth wheel to ride right
