I did not have airbags on my 2007 Jayco Greyhawk on Kodiak as they were not an option with Jayco. I have airbags on the rear of my Itasca Impulse (an option selected by the dealer on the Silver models he orders) and given the difference we found compared with the Kodiak, if I still had the Kodiak the first thing I'd do is have airbags installed. The Itasca rides much nicer than the Kodiak - especially over rough surfaces. A lot of Kodiak owners have had rear airbags installed and all reported a good improvement in the ride quality.
Not a Kodiak but FWIW, I installed 5,000# Airlifts on the rear of my Silverado-chassised Tiger, and it improved the ride very noticeably. Just 15-20 psi of air unloaded the thickest, shortest leaf in normal hiway driving, and changed the jarring to bouncing. Then changing to better shocks (Rancho 9000's from Bilsteins) took much of the bounce out.
