Upgrade rear suspension

[picinisco]

I am towing a 26ft travel trailer with my 2007 Tahoe and need to upgrade the rear springs. I have installed an Airlift 1000 Bag kit and find it useless. It was supposed to be easy to install but it wasn't. It leaked initially at one bag due to a bad clamp. After replacing the clamp which was not an easy job, the system held air for 100 miles.I do not want to screw with these bags anymore. Are there upgraded springs that I can swap out that will help with the sag that the equaliser bars are not taking out.

You could go to Z71 springs if you don't already have them.

Since this Tahoe already has the tow package, I can only assume that it has HD springs like Z71. Will changing the shocks to coilovers get me what I need. Or will air shocks do the same.

I think you have the normal springs, but didn't you have the self-leveling shocks (nivomat) ? I thought they are standard with the towing package

The tow package does not imply Z71 springs. The Z71 is an off road package.

No self leveling. Will look for z71 springs.

What about coilovers or air shocks?

 

[picinisco]

Would I be correct in saying that Z71 versions of Tahoe are designated LTZ?

How much does your trailer weigh loaded, how much does your truck weigh loaded when towing? What's the tongue weight?
