Re: air ride question
Do you have an aftermarket panhard Rod? If you have a lowered suspension and a factory panhard rod it will pull on the rear suspension making the rear axle not centered under the truck and can also lead to the bed/frame not sitting level.

Re: air ride question
What air-ride set-up from BC Fab? What are the particulars?
What type of air management system?

Re: air ride question
Was the air suspension just installed? Any other service work or suspension mods done prior to the 'air ride' install?

Re-check & see if the issue persists. FWIW, my dually has diff pressures @ all 4 corners & even that varies depending on temps.

Re: air ride question
Is the issue just that the pressures are different. The psi difference wont matter if you achieve the desired outcome..
