Agree with Tom S about not tying the bags together. If you think about it the pressure get thrown over to the side that is already lifting in a curve or corner, thus compounding body roll.

Now my experience with air bags. I get confused when you search the forum about what pressures people run. I have seen on the board and others where the exact same setup with a big difference in air pressures.

My ride was and continues to be horrible. I read my Air Lift manual and it suggests trying various pressures. I have been running about 35 loaded. So just to see what would happen, I increased the pressure until the springs lifted off the overloads. That resulted in a pressure of 75 lbs on the air lift.

Took a test drive and could not believe how smooth the ride was. Now since the truck is higher in the rear, I will have to lower the hitch.

So the jury is still out, but it is interesting conversation.

By the way, truck is Chev 2500, Fiver is a 2880RL, 2,010 pin weight.
