Default Need some opinions!

Got a 2005 2500 dodge and am thinking of putting either Air bags or Progressive helper springs on. My question is is which one is better? I pull varied loads a lot but i really don't want to affect my ride any either. If i do go bags i'm getting the on board compressor but kinda on the fence. What do you guys think?

Obviously this won't be done until i get the truck back though

I would say go air bags if you are worried about your unloaded ride

You could just add 2 leaves to the pack too. It won't change the ride if a good spring shop does it. I have a friend who went 3 more leaves but he has a farrier box on his pickup so it rides like stock with 3, his dad and mom have 2 added on their pickups and it helps out a lot and the ride is fine.
