I have had both, and I like both. Air bags were nice for the adjustability, but I like the durability and less hassle of the timbrens. I had one airlift airbag failure.
The timbrens on my yukon are in contact with the axle when unloaded, which makes for a harsh ride when not towing. While towing, however, they are excellent.
Sumosprings have 3 products that are very similar to timbrens, one of them looks to be much more progressive rate than timbrens. Might be worth looking into.
Update: I replaced the oem autoride electric shocks with Monroe load adjusting shocks on the rear and the axle is no longer in contact with the timbrens (unloaded). I took it for a short test ride tonite,and the unloaded ride quality is great now.
