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 ...

With your bags aired totally deflated, measure the height of your rear fenderwells.
When fully hooked up with spring bars engaged and air in your bags, measure the height of the rear fenderwells.
Height of the fenderwells SHOULD NOT be any higher than unloaded height.
My guess is that the new tires, plus possibly a bit too much air, is making it ride rougher than you are used to.
You need to also remember that your WDH will need readjusting due to the change in rear ride height from the bags (unless the height isn't changing at all). Change in rear ride height changes the amount of angle between TT and TV, which removes some weight off the front of the truck.
