I've got the Pro Comp 6" with 35's I ended up adding Firestone Air Bags by Ride Rite because I don't like any squating when I'm towing my boat.
Note I am using the stock springs with a 3" spacer underneath maybe the Deavers won't have this problem?
I like the adjustibility of the air bags.Just remember if you are using spring spacers you will also need "cans" which are round metal spacers the exact height of your lift blocks to put under your air bags.Otherwise they don't fit!
As far as towing I'm only pulling about 4500 pounds on a tandem axle trailer so not a problem but I'm confident I could tow at or near capacity with no problems at all.
Wherever you get your lift kit should help with the bags and cans,if not I got mine at 4 Wheel Parts for about $260.00?
Remember if you have the Big Tow Package your 3:36 gears are equal to
4:10's with the 5 speed trans.When changing to 35" tires you will then be running around an effective ratio of 3:80 and speedo will be off {showing slower}by about 5%
Just go for it You'll be glad You did!
