Air Bag Pressure
Hi, For those of you with air bags on the rear axle and a fifth wheel, how much pressure do you use? I started with 30 PSI and now increased to 38 PSI. About 2,750# of pin weight. Crespro

I run 20psi just to help the coil springs on the dips at bridges.
TXiceman, my air bags say I can carry 5,000 lbs more. LOL
The air springs DO NOT increase the load capacity of the truck.
All you can say is the air springs an carry 5000#.
The truck is rated for what is stamped on the stickers inside the door jamb.

But all that means is if the manufacturer can prove you went over their rating they don't pay warranty claims. The only rating the law will enforce is the tires.
