OK. So I went out to jamboree in the hills on Thursday and got back last night to NY. Wed night got the bags installed but I was mother fing for a while. The first one (drivers side) went in really easy. Second I had a hell of a time so threw some wd40 on that helped. Anyway, the hardest part was trying to get the hose on the bags. Wheels were in the air. There just isn't much clearance for my hands and I'm a thin guy. I tried to work it on best I could and think I got it on good enough. Should I have put the hose on first? I took the wheel off but that didn't help without removing the plastic in the wheel wells which i didn't bother with to make it easier.Then the tee fitting leaked which they sold me a metal one(no clamps needed) from sdtruck springs. Supposedly should be a better fitting then the plastic that came with the bags. But I had to use the plastic one . so anyway noticed a huge improvement in the ride. I was probably pulling close to 8000 pound s. You can see s pic of my toy hauler if you look at my last post. The 1500ram with 3.92 pulled it like a champ and I got about 10mpg averaging 65or70 in hills. The transmission temp. never went over 180 on the hills and usually stays around low to mid 170's. this is in PA . I think I lost about 5psi on bags on the way back. Is that something to be concerned about. I didn't bother checking for leaks cause I don't see how that's possible at the air bag connection. The tee isn't leaking any more. Thanks
