: Lift for rear end

I have added about 1,500 lbs of permanent weight to the rear of my 2500HD (custom hauler bed). As to be expected, the rear end dropped 2-3 inches. What do you guys suggest to use to lift rear back up, and keep it up for towing? I am leaning towards springs because of cost.

Thanks! :ro)

If I go with air bags, which is best? Summit Racing has the Air lift kit for $206 and the Firestone kit for $209.

Well boys and girls, I ordered the Air Lift system from Summit Racing. Total cost including a calendar was $220.
