Pin box or airbags?
Which will give the smoother ride. I'm leaning towards the bags for the obvious cost reasons.

I've always looked at air bags as a suspension aid; supports load and levels truck, doesn't do a whole lot for ride and can sometimes be detrimental (why I use Timbrens). You can use an air pin box for the up/down movement, or a MorRyde, Glide Ride for the fore/aft motion. I found that I could get rid of all the motion with the TrailAir Tri-Glide:
Air support to control the up/down motion and a glide plate to control the fore/aft motion.
You'll have to figure out exactly what "problem" you are trying to cure to have a better idea of what device you should look at adding first. If you are trying to eliminate squat and handling issues, the air bags may be the way to go, but, if it is "ride" issues, you should look into devices designed to work on those problems as the bags aren't designed as "ride improvement" fix, they are a more of a "support fix".
