Air bags gone wild.....

[pools2do]

I hooked up a new trailor (8 x 16) with about 200lbs on the nose. After towing a lil' while, when I want to unhook the trailor, the air bags jack up the rear to the max. Of course that makes me have to cranking up the jack to release the trailor. Any ideas??
Thanx...........Bill

You are probably leaving one of your doors open. The air suspension will not react while a door is open so when you are raising the tongue and taking weight off the air springs, they are "rebounding" and the suspension is not letting pressure out for it to normalize. Make sure your doors are closed and start jacking and by the time you get ready to undo the tongue you'll hear clicking from the rear of the truck and that is the suspension removing air.
