Should Air Bags Be Inflated Before Setting Up Weight Distribution System

Updated 03/14/2025 | Published 03/09/2025

Question:

I recently bought a weight distribution hitch for my pickup, and I am now buying air bags for my pickup, when I set up the weight distribution hitch do I want to have the air bags deflated when I hook up the hitch or do I want to set the air bag psi then set up the weight distribution hitch

Hey Calvin, great question! You're going to want to have those bags inflated before setting up your weight distribution hitch. From here you'll be able to make your adjustments to level the truck out.

If there is anything else I can do for you, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!
