    Flex air is super sensitive to ride height. Should be 8 3/4" when empty. I have noticed the u bolts tend to stretch on them. The u-bolt will seem tight, but look for movement at the u-bolt top saddle. They are a bear to get the ubolts out, I mean a PITA. Here is ride height chart.

    Have you fixed the problem yet? Curious, does it always happen or just when empty.
