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

I have been thinking about the airbag solution...
Don't discount airbags altogether, I noticed something on my truck camper years ago, increasing the airbag pressure often will lift the bed off the spring packs and their bump stops causing the ride to actually soften.
If memory serves me correctly with the camper on the bed, any pressure above 35 psi raised the frame enough to affect the harshness.
While this caused what I liked call wallowing or sway which was dangerous with the truck camper it might work better to smooth out the harsh up/down chucking I'm experiencing with my 5th wheel.
I'm going to try my theory out next week on my next camping trip.
