Air bag suspension worth it?
Asking all you guys and gals out there with air bags. Are they really worth the cash? I have ridden in a friend's hummer with air ride and loved it. I will be buying a 1 ton truck pretty soon and would like a better ride than they give. I know it isn't supposed to be a perfect ride in a 1 ton, but I would like some improvement. Anyone have complaints or compliments on their air ride?

I have '67 W200 I put bags on the rear and only has 2 leaves in the spring pack. While I do need to do some changes to make things work even better it has been about 12 years since I did them and my only issue with the bags is a fitting with a slow leak.
I don't think having a punctured bag is a real big worry although it can happen but so can broken springs. They are pretty tough.

From what I have heard, 1/2 ton springs won't work. They are 3" wide, where as 3/4 and 1 ton springs are 3.5". Before asking, spacers are a bad idea.
I pulled a few leafs out of my spring packs, only 3 per side now, and have air bags. Ride quality is similar to a half ton, but I can still pull around my trailers with the air bags.
