Default Towing with Airbags Jayco 32BHDS 10,000 with F-150

Hey Guys I have a 2015 F-150 with the 3.5 EB 4x4 with 3.55 locking rear with the Super Crew with a 5.5 FT bed. I just added AirLift 5000 AIR bags and I am not sure what you guys usually tow and how many PSI you just use for daily driving. Thanks for the help.

5 pounds unloaded and whatever poundage you need to level your truck when loaded.

Probably 30lb will about do it. You know you're overloaded with a 10,000lb trailer, right?

You keep not adding your WDH. And your family and tongue weight keep changing...

"Thanks for the heads up. So I am guessing with me my wife and daughter our weight is 450 lbs. that leaves 1388 for the trailer if I load everything else into the trailer and not the truck. Not hare with a 35 foot trailer. Lets say the toung weight is 13% the mediean of 10-15% that would put a dry weight trailer of 7900 lbs with about 1100 lbs of weight in it so lets say 9000lb to have a tonge weight of 1170 lb plus my family and that has use at 1620 lbs or payload. That is still 218 lbs short of the payload max. and 3000 lbs short of the total towing capacity.*"

You need to hit the scales and prove fact from fiction. There are some good threads about how to properly weight, truck by itself, without bars tightened, with bars tightened.

Are you always this rude?

I don't remember exactly what I wrote everyone and I have nothing to prove to you. I pull it and I feel comfortable pulling it. If you don't like it. I really don't care. Thanks for hijacking the thread about air bags not my weight.
