When not towing/pulling anything with your Nissan Armada, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F4150 should be inflated to a minimum of 5psi to prevent the bags from deforming without any air in them. When towing, you want to start inflating the bags according to how much your vehicle is sagging at the rear, and stop inflating when the vehicle is at its normal ride height. Remember to never exceed 35psi with this system. I attached a helpful demonstration video for you.
