Re: Rear Suspension Air bags?

I run 45 PSIG in them all the time and had the headlights aimed at this pressure so I wouldn't blind on coming traffic at night. The only compromise is the truck leans a little on a hard turn.
Not the greatest photos, but the small gauge closest the column is the air gauge. Green for rear, and the red will be the front if I ever put a set in.
You can just make out the bag in the second photo just forward of the rear tire.
