Weight distribution system vs truck suspension air back lift.

I got a vibe 312 bhs and I'm using an f250 , you know ford suspension is not too strong as others trucks,
Recomendación : weight distribution or lift my truck suspension with air back ???

Air bags do nothing to distribute weight.
You NEED a WDH!
Your truck's owners manual has a towing section. Please read thru it and it should tell you that you need one.

You need a WDH for sure, but if you have the extra money the air bags also help a lot. My favourite mod I did on my Tacoma to be honest. I hook the WDH up and then pump a small bit of air in them to stiffen the rear from moving side to side and it rides great
