Ride height with airbags? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What height do you guys with air bags find comfortable? If anybody would be willing to post pics or take a measurement say from the running board that would be fantastic. I'm setting up my rear suspension and want to make sure I nail the ride height, don't want the bags over or under-inflated while cruising.

Thanks!

hard to say how high. my hight is based on the lowest part. my tranz mount. which i have only hit once really hard. for the most part i ride with it aroud 3 to 4 inches up. more if i'm on a rough road.

I used to ride at 4".

with my new wheels I'll be about an inch.

Thanks guys, I'm figuring about 4-5" at the running boards. I'm trying to keep everything else above them.
