once you set the height valve on each side, each will have the pressure it needs. my system is set for 120lbs, but my Southland bags only need about 90 at full height. So if you have an old bag and a new bag, and readjust your height valve on the side with the new bag the pressure in your system shouldnt make a difference.
so far i like the southland bags, just make sure and install them with the airtube at the 6 oclock position.

Donovan,
I understand and in theory agree.
Just wondering have you actually done this? The way I read the message below
you have two Southland bags. I found adjusting the ride height valves is a
pita until I got adjustable links.
BTW you could provide some helpful data for the spreadsheet that Andrew
created if you measured the min and max distance between the bag supports.
Mark Bennett up in the Gold Coast measured his OEM system and found that the
difference was 6.5 inches.

Andrew,
I heard that someone's GMC was at Southland getting the running gear
rebuilt. If so, I have a clue as to how much money you don't have that you
used to have.:>)
Did you get the isolation pads replaced, too?
