Wow Leo... that is a great looking trailer.

Thanks everyone for the great input. I was leaning towards timbrens and now that is what i've decided to do. Less cost.... and much easier to install and maintain.... and they do the job! Thanks again!!

Had Firestone airbags installed yesterday when I picked up the new TH. 2588lbs empty pin weight and with the air bags at omly 20psi the truck bearly sunk. Plus I have tons of room for more air if the load gets heavier. The airbags are no drill and fit very nice.

Picture here.

They both will help with towing. You can't really compare them in the same but if you are looking for a "cheap" fix then the Timbrens are your ticket. Remember, Timbrens are just a "larger bump stop" to hold the truck up with weight added. If you are willing to "invest" more then you can't beat the helper bags. Helper bags give you more adjust-ability that can help your final ride quality when loaded. Also when you have no load you can deflate the bags and your factory ride is back 100%. I see you have a Chevy and the helper bag install on a Chevy is pretty basic so i would not let the install be a factor. Base it off your budget for the upgrade.
