Sumo Springs to replace air bags
Hi Guys, I am considering replacing the stock air bags (which bleed down/leak) with Sumo springs on my 2020 Ford 450 chassis Leprechaun Class C. Rumor is the Sumo springs make the rig more ...

I put a set on our F250 and don't notice them when running empty as there is a small gap before they engage and then being progressive, the initial resistance is minimal but they do firm up the ride when heavily loaded.
On a Class C, the adjustability of airbags isn't important as the loading will almost always be pretty much the same. With a big truck camper, adjustability is much more important as the support when you have 4000lb in the bed will result in a very stiff ride when empty but that never happens with a Class C.
With Sumos, there is nothing to adjust or to fail, so I think it's a great option for a Class C.
