MY SS IS AWD 2005. THANKS FOR HELP ON THIS . There are a few people here who run a helper kit that is made by Firestone, to keep the truck level during heavy loads / towing... I'm not sure of a PN but it shouldn't be too hard to find it. If you're looking for full on shocks, try AirRide Technologies, but IMO full shocks is a waste of money for what you're looking for. The kit from Firestone is just a set of airbags that go between the axle and frame to help out the rear springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAD Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 They dont make air shocks for our truck. You have to find something with the same lenght as your factory shocks and cut the ends off of each set and weld your factory ones on the airshocks. When I bought my lowering kit from Andy at A&ACorvette he included a set of airshocks with the kit that he had done that to. I wish I had a part number for you.

Loeryder Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I am in the same boat. I tow with mine and dropped the rear w/ 3" shackles. I had a Dakota RT that was slammed and I used the Firestone "Air Ride" helper bag setup with manual air valves ran out through the rear license plate frame and it worked perfect. I tow my Typhoon on a flat bed weighs in around 5300#s. My problem was even leaving 10Psi in the bags made it ride a bit higher and after lowering it with all those parts I wasn't happy with my unloaded ride height. I left the bags empty empty for too long and ended up getting a leak somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
