yes it leveled the truck,...but it drives down the road ,...like a fuggin pogo stick...


I would recommend airbags to people that pull 5th wheels,....but thats about it.


If you want to level it,...do it the right way....new springs

Thanks, I sure as heck don't want no "fuggin pogo stick"

I've got airbags and at 10psi they ride just fine like when it was stock. I leave my 5th wheel hitch in the bed so I have an extra 200 lbs as well. With anything 30psi or over, it does tend to ride a bit rough.

What Shawn said. I leave myne at 8 PSI and it feels just like stock. Thing is airbags aren't meant to really level out the truck. They are more for control. When ever I have a trailer or load on my truck I'll pump the bage to about 70PSI and the truck still sits lower in the rear but it handles a lot better on turns and on windy roads. If your pumping the bags to level out the truck you are gonna have a horrible ride because you've compensated for the load but then your just overfilled. Pretty much it's 1PSI per 40lbs.
