I looked at air bags for my 2004 GMC 1/2 ton crew cab. I opted instead for a spring made by, if I remember the spelling, TEMKIN. It's like an oversized jounce on steroids. You remove stock jounce, replace with TEMKIN. You ride on your stock suspension until under a load, then the TEMKIN spring (bolted to the frame) makes contact with the axle increasing your load capacity. My truck is level under load, I don't have to adjust air pressure, don't have to worry about air bags leaking down, cost around $150.00, easy DIYS install.
