Stephen,
Your numbers are really close to mine... I went with airbags,
no regrets...inflation nipples at license plate... run 40 psi
, 12 psi empty. My squat without the airbags was 2.5-3 inches,
(ie, acceptable)took the advice of forum Professors and went
with airbags...that little bit of front end squirrelyness under
load (made up word syntax police!) disappeared. Rides level. No
porposing, still feel bridge seams...but all tires at recommended
sidwall max PSI. Expect your "loaded" number to grow.
Nice rig ! Good choice.
don't forget to re-claim your bump stops in case you change your
mind. (I had mine installed by local 4x4 shop...after purchasing on-line).
