Recommended PSI for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs When Towing
Question:
I have recently added the wireless Air Lift kit to my 2500 Chevy. I tow a 5th wheel trailer which squats my truck about two inches. I can add 70 psi to the air bags which bring it up the two inches however I get a better ride when I bump it up to 100 psi which raises my truck an additional two inches.... is there a recommended psi when using the air bags??

Helpful Expert Reply:
There is not a recommended psi level when using Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2709 with the exception the minimum 5 psi and maximum 150psi. It sounds like 70 psi gets you to level, which is ideal for towing. If 100 psi is more comfortable, it is still within the parameters of the air system. The most important factors are staying within the psi range of the air bags and keeping the trailer as close to level as possible when towing your 5th wheel trailer. the information you gave falls within the parameters, so it is user preference.
