Identify brand of the airbags / proper pressure, etc.

The PO of the truck that I got last year installed airbags.
I wasn't really aware of it (or rather, I didn't pay much attention) before. Yesterday, I measured the pressure in them and it's pretty low, barely tipping the gauge.

I'm not sure what brand they are, what is the operating pressure range, etc.

Where do I look to be able to identify what I got, and how do I go about figuring out the proper pressure.

I've installed stableloads, and they help, but I still get quite a bit of sag when I load the camper.

The rig in question is a 2005 F350 DRW with a 2001 AF 1150.

  • Hi I have firestone air bags and I never drive with less than 10' of air in them because after experimenting driving without air I perforated both because of the screws that hold them and with the canper depending on the road conditions 60 to 80'. It is to avoid the swining

  • Brand shouldn't matter. Keep 5-10 psi in the bags when unloaded.

    After loading, put just enough psi to keep your overload springs in contact.

    Too much psi and you may rock/roll.
