Leveling with air bags correctly
After reading forums I did what they said. I think all that I have read have been COMPLETELY wrong. I don't mean to offend anyone, and I'm sure maybe this was mentioned already buried in long string...

An attempt at a public service announcement ended up in some pretty backasswards claims and recommendations here...
1 correct observation was that if you air back up a TC load to unloaded ride height, you're not taking advantage of any of the truck's rear suspension and you create a big white heavy bouncy ball.
On the other hand, "some" TC's "may" put a significant amount of weight on the front axle, but it is very few.
Second, having the back at OE height and the front sagging an inch? Couldn't be much more than that if you tried unless something different than every setup you see on the road... Did not affect caster appreciably and the little caster change did not wear the front tires. (Camber with an IFS front "could" do that if you really loaded it down.)
We're now disputing bad forum recommendations with bad forum recommendations.
