Default Air ride

About 4 weeks ago I installed a full air ride to improve the ride when towing a 38 ft. 5th wheel. What a differance. Anyone else with air ride?

It is possible that by using the air ride
to slightly lower the truck's suspension at highway speeds
you could get a slight MPG improvement.
