when I use the air bags, which were put on to haul my 5th wheel. I only fill them up until my rubber bumper barely engages the over load spring. the rear rubber bumper engages the spring about 1 inch before the front bumper does so I only have the rear bumper engaging the spring until I hit a bump and then I am sure the front one engages.
If your overload springs are not FULLY engaged, front and rear, you have too much air in the airbags. That is your problem.
Unless the springs are engaged front and rear, they're not doing anything. When you hit a bump, they're "slapping" and giving you a harsher ride than necessary too.
Let some air out. If you don't like how it sits, get some Torklift Stableloads to make the overload springs engage sooner.
