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...

bags are a bandaid for not enough suspension
Like almost every semi on the road? Bags are suspension!
Apples and Oranges....the bags on semi's are NOTHING like the bandaids that you're touting. The "bags" do nothing but unload the suspension on the truck, they are NOT an addition to the suspension. If you have to use airbags to level your truck your present suspension is overloaded.....PERIOD, and no amount of add-ons other than more spring will cure the ills of it. I've used both suspension and airbags to make a truck "handle" a camper that was clearly more than the truck was designed to handle, and suspension wins EVERY time. Red is "maxed out" with the S&S and still sits 1.5 inches higher in the rear as it was designed to handle that weight and doesn't need "bags" to fix it's deficiencies.
