We bought our "no drill" Firestone Ride Rights from Summit Racing, at that time (Jan 2008) was the best price ($257) and shipping was free and quick. I was not as quick as some on the install, but it wasn't very difficult.
Save your money toward a more robust truck. You might want to hit the scales to confirm what I suspect, your overloaded.
2003 Jayco 308fbs eagle 33' tt, towed by a 2003 Ram 3500 slt, quad cab dually, cummins diesel ho, trailer towing package, with 6 speed manual. Hauls better 1/2, 3 kids, myself, and a 2003 ez go clays car.. I have added so far, neon lights, clearance lights, back up lights, black light, lift kit, mud tires, and everything necessary to make the golf cart street legal. It's now ready to spend the winter in the garage for more mods. More neon, strobe lights, alarm, a pa system, maintance, and whatever else that comes along. This golf cart does wheelies and travels thru 7 inches of mud when need be. Two honda eu2000i gens twinned to supply the electrical power. Latest addition an 04 Honda Goldwing.

Love my Pacbrake Airbags. Really is personal preference. I like the build quality of the Pacbrakes and if you believe their marketing, they have beefier components than the others.
I added them to reduce the bounce I was getting, not because my rear sagged too low. Definitely did the trick. Ride is much better now.
Truthfully, why I went with Pacbrake is because I won them in a contest. I was going to go with whatever I could find cheapest. Can't get any cheaper than free!

This answer has no relevance to the OP's question. I don't understand why people have to post when their answer is not relevant! And now my answer is not relevant!

I offer the option to find out if he needs the air bags because he is overloaded. My opinion is air bags and any other "Make ths truck do something it was not designed for" is a waste of his money. Before I will give advise I need more information. Weight of his truck, GVWR of both the rv an truck, hitch weight, why do you want the air bags, and how much weight he wants the air bags to carry. Without this informaton everyone is guessing. Guessing is what lands you into overloaded trucks. What if he comes back and states his truck is 4,000 pounds overloaded, are air bags the solution? If it is just a bounce he wants to correct, try new shocks. I just thought I would start by checking weight, and find out why he wants the air bags..
Take your pick. Get the bag that you like as one isn't superior over the other when you google or do a RV.net search on air bags.
Just because you need or want air bags doesn't mean your owverweight.
My 2wd 2500 truck in sig doesn't have the factory aux overload spring package. With 2200 lbs of pin weight and under my axle/tire caps, it had to much sag for my taste. I've had trouble with a couple of different sets/brands of air bags some years before so I went with Supersprings this time to level the truck.

No, you changed a which brand should I get question into an asumption that he is overweight non factual judgement!
And maybe he wants the equivilant of a srw 1ton. So leave the question as a question and provide an answer if you have the experience to do so. And if you want to post non related and non substanciated judgements, start your own thread.
