Hi Everyone,
I have a question. I think I know the answer, but I want to confirm.
I'm putting Firestone airbags on the rear to level out when I'm towing my camper. I plan on putting a pressure gauge inside so I can monitor when I'm on the road.
I'm looking for a pressure gauge. From what I've heard, I'll probably have only 50psi in the bags when towing. I've found a few, but I don't want a 0-200 range when I'm only using 50.
So, finally, here's the question. Let's assume I have 50 psi in the bags. If I put in 1000 pounds in the bed, the pressure gauge would increase, right? And if so, do you think it would be a small jump, let's say 10psi or would it be a big jump like another 50psi?
Thanks,
Tim
Your air pressure will not raise because of the load, it will raise because of heat that may is generated by the bounce coming up from the axles.
