Helper springs vs air bags

[Z71Dad1517]

Hello there everyone. I know this has been discussed alot but wanted to explain my situation. I've looked to this forum for help in the past and just now joined. I'm looking for some advice/personal experience.

 

I am looking into either hellwig helper springs or an air lift 5000 ultra system for my truck. I have a 26' camper and tow a variety of other trailers that aren't mine. I estimate that the camper is around 5000lbs once loaded with our stuff. I dont ever have the holding tanks full. I do plan on getting a WDH for the camper but was also thinking of getting something else to help with the other trailers that I tow. My truck is a 2014 silverado crewcab lt z71 4x4.

I have installed Monroe Load adjusting shocks on 3 different K2XX trucks.  I used Monroe #58640.  That part is actually specific to a 2004 Dodge Ram, however it has roughly the same specs as the Silverado, but it has an additional 1-1/2” of height.
   Once installed it lifted the rear about a inch and stiffened the rear suspension quit nicely. 
  Win-win

ETA: need a floor jack to help installation

Thank you for that. I'll have to look into those
