    I would recommend stage 2 deavers or Icon RXT. AAL will give out within a month...

    I'm running Deaver stage 3's. I load down my camper with drawer slides, kitchen gear and tools all year. You would likely benefit from a full pack. An AAL solves some lift issues, but you would likely suffer from sag when loaded down.

    Both are Stock - built correct from the start.
    I’ve had air bags on my last five trucks. This one, ‘18 Sport 4x4, I went with Wheelers 1.5 AAL. I’m very pleased.

    I was planning to add a leaf when I get back to pulling the boat, which now I hope is a long time from now. My wife has stage 4 cancer. My only interest is spending time with her right now. I hope it is a long time.

    I've got an Ikon 1.5 AAL which has been great for the past 6,000 miles or so. Recently added another 100 lbs of sleeping platform, for around 450lb with gear. We'll have to see how it holds out.

    Thank you Marshall. We have! Forty-two years so far. I've got lift parts and KO2's out there in the shop, but just no time to install them. One day.
