hello all, new member here. I just bought a 2019 east to west silver lake travel trailer,30ft long 5000lb dry weight and a 2025 Silverado 2500hd to pull it. I use an e2 trunnion sway control weight distribution hitch. I load my ATV in the bed almost every time I take the camper out. I do have the back of the truck squatting enough that as I pull out of the driveway, I bottom out on the receiver shank, even though I've already cut an inch off of it. now I'm considering air bags for the truck. but I'm also looking at leaf spring helpers. I know what the difference is between the two, what I'm asking is, other than price, does anyone prefer one over the other? and why?
 
Go the air bags. When using the truck as your daily driver, you can adjust for a better ride.
