I just had a pair of Firestone Air Shocks installed on the rear wheels of my F350. I know that the minimum pressure when not hauling is 10 psi. What do you recommend when towing a heavy 5th wheel? Thanks!

I have firestone airbags that is maxium 100 psi.. You can put much as u want to judge the best for your truck to tow. I usually put 70 to 80lbs to pull my travel trailer.. YOu can check the owner manual of firestones or call the manfactory and ask for tech support. they will tell you what is maxium.
Carl, they are air support bags, to assist the springs with the load. They do nothing to dampen the movement of the suspension like shocks. You still need quality high performance shocks like Bilsten or Monroe Rancho.
