Tom,
I've looked at those air helper springs and was considering them formy Dodge
truck. It's a 1/2 ton job, and will be towing only our 20' G.T., butwe'll be going
to some engine shows and putting maybe 1000# in the bed in additionto the trailer.
That makes me think that the air springs might be a Good Thing. Questions:

What do you think about them, based on your experience? Do you havean onboard
compressor and dash-mounted controls? I see that J.C. Whitney has boththe springs
and compressor/control setups; as a gadget freak, I'm tempted....

Thanks for your thoughts!! <<Jim>>
