I can tell when the tank is near empty and not towing, the ride is a little rough...but this is not a luxury car, ride quality has to be diminished to pull a 20k TH...
When looking at the two, Timbrens have no moving parts, nothing to adjust, nothing to fail....while air bags require adjustments loaded and unloaded, possible air line failure over time, and you must ensure that you keep the minimum air pressures in the bags, which means they require periodic checks when not towing....I like the no fuss route...
