So when you state the pressure you're putting in the suspension, it's helpful to know what the load was at that time.

The numbers I stated in my post were after I am loaded.I do not air up until the load is on the axle 100 %..If I aired up prior to putting my fiver on I would prolly blow out the bags.

The op stated he puts in 55 unloaded. If I put in 55 unloaded My bed would prolly be two inches above stock height.Something doesnt appear right with that number and the fact you(the OP) say it feels like stock.There would be no way I could ever have 55 in unloaded.It would be the worst ride of my life.I have the same exact bags as the OP.
