I recently installed a set of airbag helper springs on my 1990 C1500 truck. Perviously I had towed a car hauler with a 2000 Honda Civic loaded onto it and found that my truck wasn’t quite up to the task. I installed a set of air bag spring helpers and it made a huge difference.
In this video I talk about those experiences and how I feel they have improved my trucks towing capabilities.
**DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMITS OF YOUR VEHICLE** but the installation of these air bags can greatly increase your trucks towing capabilities, making it safer and easier to drive when loaded.
