Congrats on the sweet deal. Look over the whole system for leaks first. Also make sure the m/c isn't really low and let air in. As for the rear suspension.....It has a single bag? I've got a Kelderman setup on my w350 dually that has 2 bags. Its all tied into the reciever hitch and the spring shackle mounts are cantilevered. Its a sweet setup and unmatched with a load on it. Plus I can go from about one inch lower than stock up to 3 inches over stock unloaded without changing ride quality. Actually with about 20psi it rides a lot better than factory. I just took it off and am going to put it on my 92 w250. You can get the shackle mounts off of just about any dodge this body style. They'll just be bolted on instead of the factory rivets.

Yes only one bag in the center, and yes it has springs on the cantilevered hitch. I'll try setting the bag at that psi then adjust from there to find the best ride. Thanks for the other advice also.

From looking at some other threads, it looks like the 2nd gen cooler is the better way to go.

He's no longer allowed to go to Fleet-Farm unsupervised.
