So after checking out a very nice looking M1009 sporting 33x12.5 tires and reading this site, I think I need to ensure a bit more clearance and firm up my sagging leaf springs.
I suppose the "pure" option is to buy a 2" spring lift pack for the front but part of me doesn't want the stiffness that will come with that.
What about using those load-leveling air bags to get a modest amount of lift to fit the larger tires? I'm thinking the air bags would raise everything without making the ride harsh. Cost would be about the same as a lift kit I think. There's probably some options to replace the stock shocks with something nitrogen pressurized too.
Is this a legitamate way to add just a bit of ride height for the slightly larger tires? I'm new to the whole full-size truck thing and don't want to get too far from factory. The smallest lift kit I've spotted is 4" as well - more than I really care about.
