The truck bumper rolls slightly toward the road and the wheel well rotates slightly therefore giving an illusion that it goes down. After reading other posts on airbags, Although it rode real well last time I used it, I'm going to raise my hitch head back to where it was and only put enough air in the bags to see the rear of the truck start to rise. I will then decide which ride is better. Thanks for your help on this.Campin LI wrote:The front should not drop.
So what causes the front to drop when air bags are pumped up?
If you can provide some actual before and after height measurements, I will try to interpret the numbers.
Axle load data would be even better.
