Air Ride suspension???

[NKoch]

I have recently installed an Air Ride suspension kit from Talon. I am currently playing with the ride height and air bag pressure. I am wondering what pressure or ride height anyone else is running their trucks at. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

I'd try to keep the height as close to stock level, so that the front-end alignment won't change.

Question on the kit... is it rear only or front and rear???

On most air ride suspensions (semi) the bag should ride 1/2 way between it's fullest travel to avoid being overextended or bottomed out. If the suspension system uses a leveling valve the pressure will be whatever is required to keep the set height. I'm assuming this is the system you have?

Well the system is bags on the rear with Rancho adjustable shocks on the front. It is not a full air system. I do understand how the height control valve works with the system and that it sets the pressure depending on the pressure aginst the system. The more you haul the more air pressure would be in the bag to maintain the proper height. I am speaking with a Talon Rep about the system to ensure that there was not an error in either the air bags or in the design of the swing arm. Thanks for the feed back guys.

That Talon looks likes a very beefy setup. But I wonder if it is worth the 2x price of something like this:

Road Tamer Kit For Dodge 3500 and 2500



I haven't looked at either setup in detail, just wondering what anyones experience has been.
