Need airbags for my 99 CTD. Pic's inside

So I loaded up the RzR's to go out for a ride and noticed that my truck is way overloaded with the RZR in the bed. I need some airbags or something back there. Anyone know what airbags will work on this truck? I tried to do a search but it just gives me to many options and I can't figure out which one applies to this truck. I know I have had a ride rite system before with a dual guage control inside the cab before and would like something like that but can't find it. Anyone have any ideas of what the best system would be? Also a no drill system would be best..

I can find the rear kit that's designed for your application. I just need to know the model and if it's a 2WD or 4WD.

And when you say your truck is way overloaded, do you mean it's past the limit at which it can safely tow? If so, you should definitely not tow in excess, and air bags will not help this out. Air bags will remove the rear sag, among other things, but it will not increase your towing ability.

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Try a simple tandem axle 16' trailer to load the toys and I'll bet you'll have better results and it'll be safer. That trailer alone looks overloaded...but it could be that I'm focused on the sexy dodge.

You have to remember you have a 1,000+ lb in the bed weighing it down. If you would better distribute the weight on the trailer you wouldnt be near as bad. My truck sits the same as yours with a 8,000lb skid steer in the dump trailer. Now if I was using the actual open the trailer I could get my truck to sit near level with 12k behind it. Its all about how the trailer is loaded.

In the dump trailer it has to go in this way cause if you put it in the other way there is too much weight behind the trailer axle. I dont have air bags just the overload springs.

You can try Timbrens too. They're pretty inexpensive and just a 10 minute install and you never have to mess with them again. I have them on my truck and I like them. I acquired a heavy 5th wheel and the since my truck has the 2" leveling kit the front was sitting higher than I liked, I called Timbren and they sent me a more heavy duty set for free so the truck sits level.
