New Air Bags & Sway Control = ROUGH ride
I just added some air bags to my aging F150 and was wondering what the differences will be to my ride as I change air pressure? This year I also went from "D" to "E" rated tires on the truck and ...

Rge E tires will decrease rock damages etc. but they are stiffer tires...
Weigh your truck empty and run minimum recommended pressure for your truck's weight found on the Tire and Rim Association Load & Inflation Table -
example Information and Load and Inflation tables
When we ran rge E tires on the rear of our 3500, we ran 40 psi empty truck, max sidewall psi fully loaded truck. The tire had pretty much the same shape and footprint when pressure was matched to the load.
Weigh your truck and trailer loaded ready to go and set tire pressure at minimum according to the tables then make small increasing adjustments if you want.
When we had springs/air bags - air bags at 5 psi empty truck, and maybe 30 psi at max axle load 6199lbs to level the truck so it steered properly.
