97f250 Lariat

I just purchased a 97F250 with 62k miles on it. The truck has air suspension. I realize the suspension adjusts once I park the truck, but should the air suspension trigger while I'm idling at a light and sometimes I hear it adjust while I'm driving.

This is my first truck so I'm trying to learn the differant noises.

Thanks
bill

Looks like I need to get my post count up so I can email you guys, so here's another bump from the archives.

Anyone know of an aftermarket bag system that fits on this model? Or if I can put springs on in place of bag replacement?

TIA!

MY same system would adjust it self all the time and there were NO air leaks. I got tired of blowing bags so replaced them with leaf springs from junk yard. Bolted right in with no problems.
