Air Pressure for airlift airbags
I installed a set of airlift airbags on my 03 2500 HD Silverado. Wondering what a good air pressure is to run on them with a 8500 lb Cougar 5th wheel. I put #45 unloaded but seems like it needs more.

An 8500 lb 5er would have a pin of about 1700 lbs. Thats not much at all even for a 3/4 ton. I use bags with a pin of about 1800-1900 lbs in my Ram 2500 and only put 25 psi in them. That gives me a little more side to side stability. Anymore and the rear of the trucks to high. with 25 psi the trucks sitting down about 2" in the rear which puts it 1" higher than the front and leaves the 5er about 1/2" high in the front.
I've tried 20, 25 and 30 psi. 25 is the best for ride and overall setup.
50 psi would be way over the top for me. Just wondering why you have bags and why you need 50 psi? Are you hauling a lot in the truck bed?
