yeah its getting where I dont even put in pressure gauges haha. I learn how long to hold the switches up and do them two at a time. having a person on the drivers side means 8-12 more psi than the passenger side, some one gets in the passenger side bump the passenger switch up that 8-12.

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
