Is it worth getting Dons leafs, then saving the insane amount for Carlis bags? Or should I just go with Carlis full leafs Pauli? All im missing from my suspension is arms, and leafs. Got the KINGS at all 4 corners, the stablizer, and the new 08.5 steering. I just cant get over how much the airbags are
Yeah, its worth it. Don's leaf pack is so plush its wild. But they're not the best at handling a load. Even your shell will make them sag. What you could do is add the leaf pack when you remove the shell for summer, then start saving so by the time winter rolls around you can buy Carli's bags. The Timbrens work fine, but with light loads they can be harsh.

Depends on how much you wanna spend on your truck really. The minipacks helped mine a lot, plus I haven't noticed a loss in capacity.
I should have picked up full leafs back then because I believe they were only $800! The minipacks I calculated were somewhere around $380.
Inflation I guess... But the truck does fine with them, I'm very happy with them.

Money isnt really a problem. I mean, its not like i have all the money, but I know im not getting mini-pack. Its either carlis full leafs, or Dons leafs.

The only problem with that also, is the fact that I dont tow alot, so I would be rolling around with airbags that cost me a G, mainly so I could run Dons leafs. I dunno. I will figure something out.

Harsh empty or light weight Timbren ride.
Gents, I think I have it figured on the harsh ride from Timbrens when empty.
I just happened to have a couple extra spacers and 15 min of time, so I tried them as I too have gotten a harsh ride when empty on bumpy roads.
In the instructions, Timbren says leave space between the axle and rubber block. With my extra spacers, I eliminated the space and remounted like a front kit. No space between block and axle.
It does not completely eliminate harsh ride, but it softens it a lot. They are staying this way!!
