    Does anyone know if the front air bags are adjustable? For an air ride suspension, it sure seems way too stiff to me and way too bouncy. Shocks are fairly new and look good.

    Yes the valve it’s self you can loosen it and put it higher or lower but you will mess with ride height

    Ok. I’ll mess with it and see if it makes any difference in ride quality. Thanks

    How many miles on the new shocks?

    Careful adjusting lower, you will change caster. You should have it put back in with a wedge from a competent alignment shop to do it right after lowering..

    Less than 70,000 miles on the shocks. They are cheap enough, so I’ll start there first and replace them.

    Check the bottom bolts on the shocks and see if they have any play air ride front everytime i change shocks i change bolts and nuts to some reason they always seem to get loose if you do not change them out.
