Wow I hear about sagging with people that have 3500 duallies ,my old 1999 SRW F350 needed them and I loved them but my 2003 Chev 3500 dually rides Perfectly level without airbags it rides like a dream even with my heavier 3402rl, airbags or Timbrens would be a waste of money for me anyway

Reading through this, I too, like bigskyjimmy, find it interesting that people with 3500 DWR have issues with sagging rear ends of their trucks.
My 2012 3500 SWR carries my 3200# pin weight of our 3725 perfectly without the addition of anything. It sits perfectly level and rides fantastic, in fact better than my SOB that had a lighter pin weight. Sitting static, it does not touch the overloads, but I am sure when dynamic, they come into play.
My 1999 2500 Dodge had the stock overloads springs like my 2012, however with the pin weight of our old SOB, did not sit level and did sag. I added Timbrens which did level the ride, but also made it rough riding with the load on. Unloaded, rode like stock, like they were not even installed.
Currently with our present vehicle I see no reason to add airbags or any additional weight carrying aids.
