From min air of about 10psi front and 5psi back, (he would never empty the bag's all the way for fear of damage) dumped to ~70psi iirc for the bags close to topped out. His ride height was about 21-23psi fronts, and about 15-17psi rear again iirc. This was the S10, the kelderman setup I didn't pay close enough attention to give an accurate description.
I know by 35psi front they were about 3/4 of the way up, and the ride was very harsh vs the 21-23psi that he daily drove it on. It was a very pleasant ride if you could get over the doucheyness of the truck.
The fronts were a pretty small bag, but were connected to some accumulators that added a fair bit of volume and supposedly softened up the ride a fair bit, I never rode in it prior to them.
I guess one other thing to keep in mind, and probably why the rear of this truck the air pressure didn't make as much of a difference, is that the front was IFS and as you changed the ride height you were also working with the arc of the suspension, so you wouldn't have the same load throughout the travel. Which I never really considered till right now. I always just assumed that there was more air pressure change in the fronts as they were so much smaller bags then what were in the rear. :nail:
With all of that being said, there is always a "sweet spot" for all bag setups, the trick is finding it.
