Air ride pressures left to right
For those of you controlling ride height with air pressure, do you have to run different pressures from left to right? I finished up all of my plumbing and wiring and in order to level the front of the truck from left to right I have to have about 10psi more pressure in the front driver side than the front passenger side.

Re: Air ride pressures left to right
I'm the same way with mine. 10 psi more in front left. Its not driver weight,and it started from day one after air ride install. I chock it up to these trucks being almost 50 years old. It agrivates me so much, I'm going to spring the grand for elevel.

Re: Air ride pressures left to right
I wouldn't be surprised if one side needed more pressure to be level. Ride height is the important thing. If you think about it, with all the variables of frame geometry, tires, wheels, etc, if you add up all the allowable tolerances, the truck will not be perfect. Thats why we have to get alignments and such. 10psi isnt much of a difference especially in something like an air bag.

Re: Air ride pressures left to right
Thanks guys. That puts my mind at ease. I have been working on the overall install for a month now. I installed everything methodically and I am anxious to take it on its first drive to the alignment shop.
