Firestone's for me also. 5 lbs when not towing and around 22 lbs when towing. Many tend to over inflate the air bags for the load they are carrying. Firestone says every 1 pound of pressure will support 40 pounds of weight. If you already have a 3/4 ton (1500 lb) truck and you put a 2500 lb pin weight on it you only really need another 1000 pounds of support. 25 X 40 equals 1,000. Going higher than what you actually need just makes for a rough ride and applies more shock to all the components of the truck and trailer.
