suspension mods for super heavy audio

[Lil Poot 5,000+ posts]

with my new box and 18's, i'm going to be rolling around with around 300 pounds in the rear of my truck. with my old DD 9518 setup, it sagged 2 or 3 inches lower in the rear and there was a noticable handling difference, i'm afraid this is going to be a little much.

so what are my options, adding leaf springs, air shocks? i dont want to spend crazy amounts of money, but i'd like it ride well.

just get some 2500lb airbags

i got some for my tahoe when i had the same problem. they were a little over $300

bags, lines, and all the connectors needed.

just fill them like a tire. pull up to any airhose if its riding to low and put some in

what bones said, helper bag kit runs around $300 and will help in more than just this situation.
