    Seems my steer axle has been hitting the bumpers on the suspension.

    Week suspension, or am I just overload the front keeping it at 12,000-12,500 constantly?

    Front Air ride needs adjusted....
    1/2" to high it feels like it's bottom out (bags to hard)
    1/2" to low and it will bottom out (to soft)

    If your bottoming out, its time for front springs
