    That's beautiful newfie8, show them full size rigs. I have a lot of tools in the bed of my truck, love these air bags. Have around 500 lbs or so in those boxes. Run 15 psi in the drivers bag, run 12 psi in the passenger bag=no taco lean ;)

    When I had my slide in camper I would run 100psi on the drivers side and 80 psi on the passengers. I had no issues over several years of doing it.

    Now that I think about it, it did probably put a lot of stress on the frame.

    Nice!

    I have not even thought about changing the pressures for the lean, but mine is not noticable with the front spacer.

    @Gearheadesw what do you need all those tools for? Two tool boxes! I just want one!
    Wow seems like overkill but "if you need em, you need em"

    I put 3500lbs in my bed and pumped my firestones up to 125 psi and they did fine, they are tougher than they look.

    5100 Billy's eibach springs
    I'm thinking of installing these as well. I keep going back and forth between these and an AAL. Any opinions on which would be better. I tow a boat and need a little more load capasity, and also need a little more lift in thee rear. I just put 5100's all the way around with eibach front springs set to .85. I would like to raise the rear about 1 inch.

    Well, I did both because I needed the AAL to support the truck unloaded and use the bags when I load it as not to kill the leaf-springs. Think of it this way, repeated loads on an AAL is going to flatten it eventually anyways, why not install the AAL's for the unloaded lift and use the bags only when you need them?
