Is There a Chart For Inflating Firestone Air Bags F2286
Question:
We have a 2019 coachmen leprechaun 260DS rv with these air bags on rear axle I’ve toy’ed with trying to find the proper inflation while towing our 2015 Jeep unlimited rubicon I’d love some advice I normally air the bags up to 35-50 psi but the ride is quite stiff to bouncy maybe I’m over inflating is there any form of a chart to go by

Thanks so much for the purchase from etrailer of the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags # F2286! There is not a chart of any kind, no. You really do just have to toy around with the air pressure to find the right setting (which is admittedly a bit of a pain). But it does sound like you may be inflating them too much, as too much pressure can lead to a stiffer ride and some bouncing. So I'd try backing off the psi a bit, maybe 5 psi at a time, until you find the setting that's best for your ride.
