    Hey, Can I use helper bags to level my truck while also providing me load support when pulling a trailer?

    Blocks are way cheaper and easier than air bags. Also the blocks are more for lift. For more weight look into AAL or a all new leaf spring set.

    The main reason I got the helper bags was for support while hauling. I guess I am just wondering as a side benefit, can it aid as a small level?
