I bet if you preloaded your OEM suspension and dropped air bag pressure, some of that sway would go away. If you are relying on the bags to even you out and the overloads never engage, your spring rate is too soft.
Thanks Bedlam, but I'm not the sharpest pencil on the desk. What is the meaning of "preload"? This whole thing tends to mystify me, and I don't think I'm alone.
Buzz, I'd like to take a "systems" approach to the issue, but I can't figure out the problem. I have E rated tires that I keep well inflated. I have new heavy duty shocks. I got airbags. I have an OEM sway bar. And I'm still sort of weaving and wandering. If I take my eyes off the road for even a second I got troubles. At least thats my feeling.
Thanks for your attempt to explain - I often feel like a dunce when approaching this stuff.
