whatever psi it takes to get your truck to your ride height.

Not enough air = bouncy ride.
Too much air = stiff ride. For that size bag mounted in the stock coil location in a truck-arm arrangement, the min is prob about 30psi up to about 60psi.

You might be able to run them with no air, but its not good advice. With little or no air in them, they are prone to chaffing against themselves. You never want the bag to come in contact with anything as it will lead to failure.
Beyond that, it will ride like a buckboard and you will look foolish bouncing down the road.

Re: what psi should i rum my rear bags at
Would you drive down the road w/a flat tire? Why would you want to drive around w/no air in the bags?
