Learned the hard way about airbag vs leaf spring helper bags on my F250
I had to choose between a $400 set of Timbren bumps and a $650 Firestone airbag kit for my 2017 F250 to handle the weight of my slide-in camper. Went with the Timbrens because I didn't want to mess with air lines and a compressor every trip down a gravel road. First weekend out near Moab, Utah I realized the Timbrens ride like a brick when the camper's off but they're bulletproof when loaded. Wish someone had warned me about that trade-off before I bolted them on, has anyone else dealt with that harsh unloaded ride?

Yeah evahenderson nailed it, Timbrens are brutal unloaded.

Read a writeup on a Ford truck forum where a guy tested both and he said the Timbrens lifted his cab off the frame when unloaded. Your mileage may vary but brick riding is what I keep hearing.
