How do you adjust load leveling air bags in a Ford F-350?

To adjust the load-leveling air bags in your Ford F-350, follow these steps:

1. Park your F-350 in a level spot with the wheels facing straight forward.

2. Turn on the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes to build air pressure in the air bags.

3. Turn the key to the "Off" position, but leave the engine running.

4. Locate the air bag inflation valves on both sides of the vehicle. They are usually located on the outside of the frame rail, near the rear wheels.

5. Attach an air chuck to one of the air bag inflation valves.

6. Set your air compressor to the desired pressure (35 PSI is a good starting point).

7. While monitoring the pressure gauge, slowly open the air chuck to allow air to flow into the air bag.

8. Use a torque wrench to tighten the air bag inflation valve when you have reached the desired pressure.

9. Repeat steps 5-8 for the other air bag.

10. Turn off the engine, then turn the key to the "On" position to allow the air bags to adjust.

11. Check the alignment and height of the vehicle, and make adjustments to the air bag inflation pressure if necessary.

By following these steps, you can adjust the load-leveling air bags in your Ford F-350 to help evenly distribute weight and maintain a level ride.
