I reduce the psi to 10lbs when not towing to lessen the already stiff ride of a 1 ton truck and to maintain the seals in the bags


I could survive without air bags but find them beneficial. I have an onboard wireless pump so making these changes, or other changes on the fly, very easy.

If the payload of your truck isn't adequate for the trailer you're towing then don't add air bags. Get a different truck

Yep, I agreee with this statement, I just install air lift 5000 plus.
