thanks, i am going to tighten the T-bars up for now, but im going to get the keys in a couple weeks..

SECOND QUESTION......

i have the air bags in the rear but have not used them yet, will those lift the rear of the truck?? and also how much PSI do you use becuase i cant see any max psi on the air bag itself so i havent used them.. thanks jeff
Yea, my Air Lifts are the same, 5# min, 100# max. I keep mine at about 10# when nothings in the bed but found that using a level sitting on the bed rail, 30# is sufficient to keep the bed perfectly level with my roughly 700# ATV sitting with the rear tires on the tailgate. I found, just for the hell of it one day that 100#s of air in the bags lifts the rear about 1.5" with an empty bed...

I tightenedmy t-bars and i put them up aboout 2inches and it was easy as f**k , also i put 75psi in the air bags the truck in the rear

rised up 3.5 inches what the F*ck???? I was expecting maybe 1.5 at the most... Thats cool, but i need more in the front now to level

the truck out, how tight should u or can u tighten the torsion bar bolts? I think the bolt has an 1.5' of thread left to go?

Mine are almost maxed out. But 75psi in the bags 24/7 sucks. I drove my truck w/o the trailer with 70 psi and it felt like the rear of the truck was coming off the ground everytime i hit a intersection. Anyway only make the front level with the bags at 5 psi becuase once you put something in the back it will look like your sagging big time. Thats if you raise the front even more.
