They operate normally in extreme temperatures like the cold winters of the northeast. According to Firestone and Air Lift, there aren't any special procedures needed during cold weather regarding the care and use of air bags. Like tires you may see a decrease in pressure do to extreme cold temperatures.
As far as road salt goes Air Lift makes special kits with stainless steel mounting brackets and lines. For your 2012 GMC Sierra 2500, you would need the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Air... view full answer...

The ideal circumstance for a weight distribution system is to have the fully-loaded trailer tongue weight (including the weight of any cargo behind the tow vehicle's rear axle) be in the middle of the system's operating range. We offer a handy scale to make tongue weight (TW) measurement easy, part # e99044.
For instance the Reese Steadi-Flex # RP66560 has an operating range from 600- to 1200-lbs. This would make it perfect for total TW of 800- to 1000-lbs. Similar system # RP66559 works... view full answer...
