Air bags

Could some of you please tell me what weights you run your airbags on your trucks. The dealer told us around 60lb., but a couple people have said they run no more than 30????
We have a 2009 3/4 ton Chev 4x4 (gas) and are pulling a 2009 31ft Sabre REDS.

Looking to add an Air Lift 1000 to my Odyssey...according their installation instructions the minimum is 5PSI and the maximum is 35PSI for that model.

http://shop.airliftcompany.cust.shopatron.com/

Is the link to punch in your vehicle type, model, year and it will say what products are available for the type.

If a self install, would love to hear how easy it was to complete.

All the best.

I have Firestone air bags on my F250. Per instructions I run 5 lbs unloaded. When I connect my 5th wheel it automatically goes to 20 lbs. I measured the hight of my bed before and after connecting. 20 lbs to 30 lbs is about right. I weigh that against ride and stay between 20 and 25 lbs.

I'm thinking 60 psi would be the max.

On my 1/2 ton. I run 10 psi empty or loaded. Rides great and handles well. Try starting at 30 psi and go up or down as needed.
