Air Bag Pressure
Hi, For those of you with air bags on the rear axle and a fifth wheel, how much pressure do you use? I started with 30 PSI and now increased to 38 PSI. About 2,750# of pin weight. Crespro

With only 2750 lbs of pin weight I wouldn't think the truck would need air bags unless your carrying more "stuff" in the trucks bed over the rear axle or have a badly designed suspension lift kit.
I used bags on my trucks when I was on the roads but just to level the truck and make it less of a DOT target going through a scale house.
I seldom ran much over 25 psi in the rears on one ton DRW trucks/heavy GN trailers.
