80 psi is completely unloading your suspension. I bet it feels "floating" and rolling going down the road. If it feels fine, don't mess with it. If it feels unstable and rolls too much, you need that bottom overload leaf engaging the upper leafs and make it do work.
The stableloads will engage that lower overload thus giving you more stability as the suspension is working with the load, not floating on bags. It is a common mistake for people use too much air in bags and unload the truck to the point of making it unstable. the factory truck has more lift in the rear and when you add weight, the truck should be level or close to it. this will allow the springs to work with a load.
If air the bags beyond that point, the springs can work with the weight and will handle poorly.
Hope that answers your question.
Great advice. Thanks for taking the time. I've ordered a set of Stableloads and will install next week and then try out the rig using very low PSI as a starting point.
Is there a magic measurement of rear leaf engagement to know if they are being utilized enough or is it just "feel"?
