i keep swaying towards a custom deaver pack. less issue with dealing with worn out hiem joints, then just fab up some long travel air bags or make them collapse able/quick release when not towing. Hopefully its good news!

I've thought the same as well but my springs are still somewhat stiff when empty but they do sag pretty good when I hook up my 18k lb rated trailer with a ZJ Jeep on it. It definitely needs bags for towing with the springs I have. One thing I like about the full air bag rear is the adjustability of height to hook up the trailer without having to crank it up. And softer ride too.

Yeah that's why I'm going with a custom pack. Only 1000 bucks for them too and they will be set to the weight of the truck unloaded. Then bags for when loaded. Lot less fab work that way and way more travel then I'll use lol. Throw some bypasses on it and she be smoooooooth ridin

Hmm... If it got more travel than the airbag setup, then I may do that route. Less maintenance is a plus too.

Update:

Insurance came and looked at it, deemed it is totaled. Tomorrow I'm going to talk with the body shop and see if it's worth repairing it, frame is bent on the right side and the front crossmember is bent a little. Hopefully it's not too bad that they can straighten it out.
