I have a roll-off truck with a four airbag suspension. I normally dump the suspension when I pick up a roll-off container. But if I get something heavy on the truck the bags will not inflate to ride height. No problem with a light load or empty. Can I crank up the pressure somehow? Have 125 psi in the tank. I don't know about the bags because they don't have a gauge.

I just started driving this truck with the air suspension switching from a solid suspension. So far it's been nothing but annoying.

Install a pressure gauge at the level valve air supply port. Upstream will be a pressure regulator likely at an air tank or the air dryer itself, trace the supply line up front. The pressure will likely be low and you will have a plugged or restricted regulator/ device.
Year, make and model may help narrow things down. -

ADIS dryer most likely. Trace the line to the dryer. Check pressure at the dryer. New dryer will most likely resolve your issues. Regulator plugged inside dryer.
But check first. -
The dryer is new. It's one of those non-adjustable Bendix

Where I come from new doesn’t necessarily mean good.
