Bedlam - It has been a while since I have weighed my truck, and my memory on this kind of stuff is not what it once was. As I recall, the total weight with TC is 10400 lbs. Rear axle 6200, front 4200. Empty, no tailgate, total 6200 lbs, rear 2200, front 4000.
snakyjake - There was a time I considered the auto leveling air bags. Very pricey and in my opinion not worth the upkeep or money. I think you will find you would not know the difference in the air bag pressure at sea level and 12000 feet. Can you tell the difference in your tires? Use care and not over think the air bags.
Air bags for our trucks are designed to compliment our existing springs, not replace them like the big trucks. You can replace the total suspension package in many of our trucks to ride on air like the big guys, but it ain't cheap. That does not mean the air bags for out trucks are cheap and do not work well. You will do yourself a disservice if you try to compare both applications other than the concept.
