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 ...

Couples of thoughts here:
As suggested already, measure the height of your front and rear wheel wells empty (no trailer), with the trailer but no pressure in the air bags, and then with the trailer at the air bag pressure you've been towing. If the rear height with TT and air bag pressure is above the unloaded height, I think you have too much air bag pressure.
Did it today and was pleased with my numbers.... sort of.
Loaded w/ TT and bags at running pressure (I've settled on 25lbs before hooking up, it feels good towing and sits well):
Front is within 1/4 inch of stock, and rear just under 1 inch (7/8") lower than stock (stock meaning no air, and no TT).
To me that sound just right.
However, I didn't measure with the TT and no air... only with air. I think that the bags bring the rear of the truck up a little, maybe 1/2" or so? Not much and I don't feel it's a bad thing...
I'll measure that next time.
