I'm looking into some ways (front/rear sway bar, coilover shocks, etc.) to improve the ride quality of my truck when bobtail. This would definitely be helpful. Thanks for the share.I know you've heard of king shocks. They do make rebuild able shocks for semi trucks. As for coil overs.
IMO The only time you would want to Run them is if your weight never changed. On a race car you're only variable normally is the amount of fuel you carry.

So setting up spring rates and shock valving is not that big a deal. On a semi your weights are always changing weather bobtail or fully loaded including your front axle. Again rather loaded or empty it changes the weight on your front axle. All of this is one of the key reasons airbags are used versus Leaf springs or coil overs. I know the king shocks have had great reviews but come with a very big price tag. With the weight we Carry or don't carry not sure if it would be worth the cost. Unless you really plan on putting a lot of miles on your truck.
