The nicest setup is an onboard air pump and automatic control valve, so the truck doesn't sag down under load or sit unnecessarily high when unloaded, but of course that's not cheap.
I was going to do that, but the difference is negligible. And the high Lift option gave me 60.5" according to ETI. I can take the airbags down to 5#s.

Plus I like the firm ride. I can adjust the gooseneck too but I keep it at the lowest setting. The truck and trailer combo is very stable and it rides with great control. I don't want to change anything. At least for now.

I did not get the optional pump. My valve is by the license plate. So I can just bleed it off.

Looks as if Tx and Ok will soon be with us. Wonder which will be inserted into the 'West'.

We got 4 A&M grads in the family.
You are spot on about ‘Bama!, and UT better be put in the west!!!.
We have 4 Aggie Grads in my immediate family also.
