I have the Air Lift air bags on all four corners of my coach. I also have the Air Lift compressor and dash control that I can use to adjust the air pressure on the front or rear as needed as conditions change.
If it is a windy day, I pump them up to 80psi or so and this stabilizes the coach so that I am comfortable in high winds. When the winds subside, all I need to do is push a button to lower the pressure for a smoother ride. There are times when in the Great Plains when I will start off early in the morning with the pressure at 30 psi and as the winds increase I gradually increase the air pressure to keep my ride stable.
I also do the same thing if I am going from a smooth road to a very rough road.
For the past 90,000 miles I have been very happy with the air bags and also with having the ability to increase or decrease the air pressure as I drive as conditions change during a day of driving.
