With air bag kits like the Air Lift # AL88299 that you referenced the correct amount of PSI needed is not a number I can give you. You'll need to inflate the bags to whatever pressure allows your tow vehicle to sit level again. There's no way to know number that will be so you'll have to experiment to find the best pressure.
