Leveled Silverado Z60 suspension- add air bags with wdh hitch?

[mikeyk101]

So I have a 2016 CCSB 4X4 with the 20" rims and Z60 suspension package. From what I have read, the Z60 lowers the truck by 1". Stock, it had the Chevy rake. I added the Rough Country 2" level and it has a good stance but it does look like it's ever so slightly nose high. I recently also had Falken Wildpeak 275/60R20 tires put on it. No apparent problems.

 

So last weekend, I took delivery of my new toyhauler and had the dealer also install an Equa-lizer weight distribution hitch.  I know it will need some adjusting as when I have it loaded, the tongue weight is going to change. My trike that will be loaded in it weighs 1200lbs and then there will be the weight of the rest of the gear. Driving home, I ended up driving for a bit after sundown and for the first time ever, I got quite a few other drivers flashing their bright lights at me. I did adjust the headlights after I had first installed the Rough Country Level.

 

Like I said, I know the hitch will need some fine tuning especially with trailer fully loaded. I should be able to reduce a lot of the rear squat but I'm still not sure about the front end. I do have a set of Air Lift 5000 bags sitting in the garage that I had been considering putting on for awhile but just keep putting it off. 

 

So if I add the air bags to slightly raise the rear and then adjust the wdh, would this be a workable solution? I have also considered maybe picking up the Roadmaster RAS helper springs instead. What would be the best way to go?

FWIW, I have the Airlifter Bags under my truck.  I pull a large and heavy TT and the bags make a huge difference.  My overall trailer length is approx 37' and the frame will sit approx no more than 3/4" out of level from front to rear.  It took alot of fine tuning to get it that level, but it looks good going down the road and drives better.
