New 5th wheel - how much squat?
Going to pick up my new 5th wheel in a couple of weeks. I got to wondering what is the acceptable amount of squatting my truck should do when I hook it up? Wondering if I should go ahead and get air...

I have an 11 F-250 and with 2k pin weight, I was getting 3 inches of squat. I put airbags on and what a difference. Leveled it out and pulling is more comfortable than before, especially in wind. Even if you only need 30lbs in the bags, it will keep it off the overloads and stop most of the bounce. On my 08 F-250 the springs were more stiff and rode level and driving was a charm, but not in the later Ford Trucks. From now on, on any new truck, air bags will be first thing installed IMO.
