air ride question
 
i have air ride from bcfab on my 70 c10. i need to run 10lbs less air in the right rear than the left to make the truck set level. this is with the truck empty. anyone have any ideas what would cause this?

Do you have an aftermarket panhard Rod? If you have a lowered suspension and a factory panhard rod it will pull on the rear suspension making the rear axle not centered under the truck and can also lead to the bed/frame not sitting level.

What air-ride set-up from BC Fab? What are the particulars?
What type of air management system?

Was the air suspension just installed? Any other service work or suspension mods done prior to the 'air ride' install?

I would check for suspension bind first. Make sure all pivot point hardware is torqued to spec w/full weight on the chassis. Get it up in the air on jackstands (under the front a-arms as far out as possible & same on the rear axle). Loosen the pivot hardware & re-tighten.

Re-check & see if the issue persists. FWIW, my dually has diff pressures @ all 4 corners & even that varies depending on temps.

Could just be your gauge.

Measure RH with you sitting in the truck

Is the issue just that the pressures are different. The psi difference wont matter if you achieve the desired outcome..
