in my first bagged truck though, it was a RELIGIOUS experience to watch the pressures.

how is your desired ride height anyway? a good rule of thumb is to measure full travel and ride height should be in between 1/3rd and 1/2 travel, otherwise the spring rate gets too high. you can always lift for driveways haha
I will have to measure full height. Ride height is with the running boards about 6" off the pavement......any lower than that I get some rubbing of my front tires on the fenders when I turn.
