Default How many days till airbags deflate?
For all those with airbags...how many days will your bags keep before they begin to deflate?

If you don't have any leaks they will not deflate.

Mine lose 1-2 psi overnight.

I have leaks on the front passenger side and the two rear. They are so bad that over night, I'll lose 33% psi in each bag. Its been like this for so long that it doesn't bug me anymore, I got so used to tapping the switch every day to lift up each corner. This is on UAS btw.

But finally the lines will be redone soon as well as digital air management :whoot:

ive been always curious to know how well those PTC fittings work... they are DOT rated n all but wonder if they really hold the pressure without leaking.

They do a good job. U just have to make sure the air line isn't cut at an angle, nice and straight. Also, the air line has to be free of scratches or the seal inside the PTC won't seal good.
