Workin Da pig!!

Ol' Lazarus got worked all week, and especially yesterday with wood AND trailer/tractor/STUMP combo! Luckily it is only a mile away! I had 3200# of sand in it 2 weeks ago and it wasn't squatted like this, airbags at 40 psi both times.

Truck looks good. Handled those loads pretty well. Guess thode airbags make a big difference in preventing squat, huh?

Thanks! Yep, they make a huge difference when loaded, I have a toolbox in the bed, so it shifts the load back about 20" they help make up for that, I usually run them at about 55psi with the 5th wheel, gives it a nice cushion.

Its great to see a truck fully loaded and not squatting an inch.

I love the air bags.
