Air ride pressures question

Truck has air bags on all 4 corners, little larrys manual valves, no sway bar. now, i know a sway bar will obviously help, but ive noticed - i will air up my truck to ride height in my driveway..i set mine to 80 in the front and about 35-40 in the rear. no its not level front to back but i kinda like the rake. but ive pulled into parking lights and its considerably noticeable that the truck is leaning to one side, even though the gauges still read 80/40. is this normal? it also fluctuates a lot while turning but im pretty confident a sway bar will help that.

Re: Air ride pressures question

I had a similar system on my Burban for awhile. It doesn't take much pressure to make one side higher than the other especially without a sway bar. A couple pounds may be noticeable. Guage calibration can play a part too. On my rear bags the drivers side is at 32 psi but the passenger side is at 28 psi. I'm fairly sure most of the difference is from the guages not bags.

Do you have Larry's 4 valve set up?

Grab a 1 1/4 sway bar from the wrecking yard. 67 to 92 Suburbans. The pickups are the same but only to 89 or so. I paid like $40 for mine.
