How are things North of the border?
That is a great reply, This is new to me, guess there is a lot more out there to spend money on.

I have a 98 dually ive had since new. what i did was drop the front 3" with spindles, and the rear 5" I used spring shackles and had the rear springs de arched some. Gas shocks all around and it rides nice and smooth, plus looks good. No hop or bounce on rough roads. Still can haul heavy loads and it tows great. Also have a hard tonneau over the bed which adds 100 lbs or so. To get a real radical drop I would go with the air bags. Depends on what you use the rig for.

Check these guys out:
http://www.keldermanmfg.com/new_air_ride.htm
I did a lot of research and this place is going to be one of the first stops when I pick up a new truck. It is a full air suspension in the rear that is similar to what the big rigs use. They also make an onboard compressor and level sensor that automatically adjusts the pressure depending on the load.
Check out the video on their website. They also sent me a videotape that was very interesting (free of charge).
Happy Shopping!
