My understanding is that proper airbag use is to level the truck, removing the rear end sag, not bringing it back to full unloaded ride height.
At full unloaded height the bags will be taking all of the load, and the springs will be taking none, causing a poor ride at the very least.
I keep reading bring it back to stock height when loaded with the airbags, not sure mine are capable of that. They are 5000 lb. capacity with the weight of truck ,plus the pin weight, I can't see them being able to handle the entire weight. The springs still would be bearing some of the weight also. Granted they certainly would not have to work as hard, but not working at all is doubtful in my mind.
