What is Best Air Pressure to Run in Air Bag Kit to Maximize Ride Quality and Support
Question:
I recently purchased kit #88288 for my 19 silverado with a 3” lift on rear axle, my question is what is the ultimate airbag height for best ride unloaded? I installed a 3” spacer and without air it bottoms out easily and if I add air it lifts rear and suspension is hard. So what should the air bag height be? At level ground unloaded, and what the maximum extension of bags? Measure them from where? Thanks in advance Pics are with 12 psi if I go lower they bottom out ultimate 5000 airbag

Finding the best air pressure with the Air Lift Load Lifter kit part # AL88288 you have installed on your truck will be a matter of trial and error. I'd try go put in as little air as needed to prevent the bottoming out and you'd have the best combination of support and ride quality.
