Ron,
I've read in these forums of others having the same experience of a stiffer ride after adding air bags.
I suspect that this is due to the air support of the air bags being ADDED to the existing steel support of the rear springs. What needs to be done is to SUBSTITUTE some air bag support for some steel spring support.
This is in fact what is provided by a full air suspension system - the entire weight of the vehicle is supported at the proper height entirely by the soft sponginess of air - with no harsh steel spring support present at all.
What I'm suggesting is a cost effective way to add some air support at the cost of some steel support. This would be less expensive than completely replacing an existing steel spring system with an air suspension system.
