It's going to vary for every set up. Just play around with it and find what works best for you.

rideheight = lay the truck out, tap the switch until truck stops dragging, and cruise.

Re: air bag guys,whats your ride height?

There are way to many variables to say what will work. It depends on the air system, suspension mods, shocks, tire height, and trucks current weight. Tell us what you have and maybe we can offer some insight.

Re: air bag guys,whats your ride height?

my setup is a 67 gmc,body dropped on a 01 sierra frame,2 custom trailing arms on the outer frame with dominator 2500 bags behind the axle,pretty much stock 01 sierra front suspension with dominator 2600 bags mounted to upper hats.275 45 20`s in the rear and same in the front but looking for lower profile tires.just undecided what size to buy.
