Front Airbag Problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This past weekend i bagged the front of my 82 c10 with some drop spindles, ***************** upper bag plates and cups and firestone 2500 bags. Ive only driven it for the past two days but in that time the truck will slowly drop but the air pressure in the bags goes up. There arent any air leaks that i can find, so what is happening? am i supposed to air them out at night and inflate them in the mornings?

sounds like your bags are breaking in

Also, does it sit outside? Change in air temp could be causing some it the difference also.

Yea it stays outside. I was just worried something was wrong because this morning they were at 84 psi and the truck was way too low to drive. Anyways, thanks for the info.

You really should of went with 2600's in the front as they take less pressure to lift.. is your gauge accurate ?? wheres the pics ?
