1) I installed a set of Pacbrake air bags on my Dodge 2500 a year ago my self. Not hard to do, just take your time. No major tools needed. The Firestone air bags are good also, I got a better deal on the Pacbrake air bags.
2) We have a 2955 Montana. It didn't push the truck down to the overloads, but the air bags level the truck & camper out very well. I do feel a smoother ride with the air bags when hauling the Monty or other heavier loads.
3) After arriving & disconnecting, I typically do not reduce the air bag pressue unless I am going to be running around a lot. I typically use 15-20 psi when hooked to the Monty. When not hooked, I let the air pressure down to 5 psi. If I leave 20 psi in the air bags when not towing the Monty, they will raise the truck bed up & the Dodge then rides like a wooden wagon. I did not spend the extra $$$ for the onboard compressor & the rest of the toys that go with it, but it would be nice if one is towing all the time. I simply run the air lines to the rear of the truck where the license plate bolts on. This works for me.
Happy Camping!
