Air bags?
Wht is the purpose of air bags? It appears that they are mostly added when someone is nose heavy or overweight for the their truck. True or not? Benefits or reasons to avoid? Thanks!

Well I can't speak for anyone else, but I installed mine so I could move the truck off the overload springs. That made for a very rough ride. I've weighed what I tow and am not over weight, close though. Which is why the truck sits down on the overload springs.
I'm sure that some add them because they are overweight, but I think it's mostly to even up the truck so the headlights aren't pointed too high and blind oncoming traffic.
I can't think of any reason to avoid them. If you don't need them they are an extra unneeded expense. My previous 5er didn't weigh as much so I didn't install them until I pulled my present toyhauler.
