Firestone air bag pressure?

[JD57]

Hi all. Well, Sunday is our big day as we head out on our trip using a tow dolly for the first time. Brief test ride today I felt my front end felt a little " lite" sometimes, similar to a pickup with a good load in the back. (BTW towing 2004 Acura TSX 3230 lbs using master tow 80 dolly) usually I'm running my tires at 70/80 and airbags at 60. Thinking I should inflate airbags higher to 65 or 70 which might force my front end down more while towing? Anyone else have experience with this? Thanks.

Adding more air to your airbags will not necessarily "raise" the rear by more than a few inches. It will firm up the ride, especially the rear.
Your rig, like mine and a lot of longer class c rigs have a loooong rear overhang. Add to that the weight of your "stuff" loaded into compartments and storage areas behind the rear axle, and you end up with what feels like a "light" front end.
Try running your airbags at your 60-70 psi, but if your heavily loaded in the rear, try re-distributing some heavy items forward of the rear axle. It may help.
