I'm looking for help in fixing the sag I get towing my camper. I was looking at Timbrens and AirLift Springs but thought I'd ask what you guys recommend?

The big deciding factor in comparing these popular suspension enhancement options is usually ride quality and adjustability since both are simple to install.

The Air Lift AirLift 1000HD Air Helper Springs part # AL60818HD will provide a smoother, less stiff ride experience for all in the tow vehicle and for that reason it is my recommendation. That ride quality counts for a lot on long trips to your favorite camping locale as well as in day to day use. The only trade off to consider here is the maintenance that would be required with adjustments of the system. That's also a positive however in that you can adjust as needed while the Timbrens are pretty much a one and done solution.

The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TDR1500DQ will provide more support with it's stiff rubber construction but they are not adjustable lack the ride quality of the AirLift solution.
