I also have a heavy ARE shell on my KC Titan. I installed the RM active suspension to help with the sag when fully loaded with dive gear. It works. It works well without a compromise in ride quality. The kit preloads your leaf springs and adds capacity to absorb the little bumps without rebound. This makes for a smooth ride. What other kit can you buy that increases capacity and ride quality?
The are no airbags. It is a coil spring that is adjustable to suit your needs.
That is one of the directions I am looking into - coilovers.
There is this are control system for airbags that is self-leveling front to back and left to right, with manual override. Sounds sweet, but I have no idea how they help, if any, unloaded.
BTW - did your Z-series ever leak? My first trip, this one, everything got soaked, including about $3k of electronics and installation hardware. Pissed me off...

No, my shell does not leak. It is well insulated. That is important in Arizona.

You have two choices in life:
You can stay single and be miserable,
or get married and wish you were dead.
Just a wild guess, there are more applications for the 2,000 lb ones, thus they make more and gain manufacturing efficiencies resulting a lower cost unit????
