How much air pressure are you guys running in your kelderman bags? I'm running 18lbs in the back. Don't have the fronts installed yet. Hopefully this week.

I have Firestones, and I'm running between 8 and 12 pounds on the rears. Loaded, I run up to 70.

Are those the helper bags over top of the axle?

Nice! Wrangler I'm guessing?

Any idea what shock I should order for the rear. I have 3" lift springs plus the kelderman.

This Rancho 9000 says 0-4" lift height:

I run a constant 30psi in the front Keldermans; I recheck the pressure about every six months.

In my rear Keldermans I have never measured the pressure -- I simply add air until the bed is level. When you get a heavy load in the bed you are definitely going to have to add air (and subsequently remove air when the bed is empty).
