Need info: How many psi air to put in air bag? (rear coils)

Does anyone have the minimum, maximum and recommended daily driving pressure to keep in the bags.

I just had mine installed and as soon as I put the air hose on them the pressure jumps to 15 psi.

Thanks for any info.

It's trial and error since no 2 cars are the same. I started with 5 psi in the driver side and 15 in the passenger. I now run no air in the driver side and 25 in the passenger.

You adjust them until the car hooks straight.

For daily driving the same pressure should be in both. Don't let them go empty but keep enough air so that the ride isn't too firm or soft.

I run 18 on the passenger side only.

I believe that Air Lift says that the minimum is 5PSI. That's what I run on the street. Theur recommended maximum is 20 PSI. When you're at a track, adjust the air pressures until you get an even contact patch. This will require a much higher pressure in the right (passenger) side than in the left.
