    I have a 2019 that I want to put a 3inch level and the front and firestone ride rite airbags in the rear. Do I still need a 1 inch block in the rear?

    If you plan to run the bags as a way to add lift to the rear I wouldn't do it. Once you add air and don't have extra weight in the bed, it rides rough.

    The bags will have to hold at least 5psi at all times, wouldn’t the 5psi add about an inch lift? Adding the bags for when I pull my camper trailer.

    Not sure on the tundra. At 5psi in the bags on my Tacoma it did not add lift that I can recall. 10psi would add a decent amount but it rode rough without weight. I think you'd be best off lifting with shackles or a small block.
    Then use the bags when towing or hauling, and don't forget to add some daystar air bag cradles to ensure you still have some articulation back there.

    Thanks! I drop it off Thursday, maybe I’ll just tell them to do a 2.5 on the front. I want it to set level and if the bags aren’t gonna add anything to the rear without being aired up..I definitely don’t want it nose high

    I can't stand nose high trucks. If you do 2-2.5 inches up front and nothing in the back you'll be just about level, and with the bags you'll never have to worry about being nose high. This was the setup I had on my Tacoma. 1.6" in front and bags in the back, was pretty much level and if I had a lot in the bed I just aired up the bags. I used a bike tire pump to add air and it was great, 10-20 pumps each bag would get me to 10psi. Never saw a need for a compressor at all.
    Don't "T" the bags together, you don't want the air to be able to shift if your load shifts.
