So what kind of air pressure are you guys running in order to get your ride where you want it? I'm sure it varies by vehicle weight and other conditions....I'm just curious.

I ride the front of our 55 shop truck at 90-100 and the rear about 20ish. It is a 72 chassis with Airlifts on all 4 corners.
And yes it depends on suspension, weight, bags used, etc.

120 front 30 rear. That's w/ a smallblock and firestones and no bed floor. I like mine high up, what can I say. Yes it all depends.

On my wifes 54 I'm having to inflate to about 120 to get it to ride height. I'm calling it ride height at this point due to the lower control arms being parallel to the ground. The car has yet to be driven so it's not a real issue at this point. I may end up going to a taller cup so that I can get the same amount of lift with less pressure.
