Air bags/shocks and the anticipated ride.
I have a 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 HD diesel and a 35' 2016 Forest River Rockwood 5th wheel. I've been pulling 5th wheels since 2013 when I bought my new GMC. My ride is pretty good but do experience a lit...

I can dump the air and it will ride exactly like it did before I put the bags on.
If your truck is sagging then I would put a set of bags on it.
That's what I was hoping for. ie. dumping the air and getting back to a normal ride. My truck doesn't sag....but the rake (if that's the right terminology) is gone and it looks like it's level.
Do bags replace shocks or are they additional?
That is the exact terminology to use. Towing level is good BTW.
They are in addition. That's why I said start with a good set of Bil's first. If I remember right a set of Bil's cost me like $350 or so several years back. They made a huge difference in ride quality while towing and solo.
The bags really won't help with anything but sag. That's all they were designed to do. If for some reason you do get bags get the one with the compressor kit also. I almost didn't get the compressor and it would have been a huge mistake. I can adjust on the fly now to the conditions. Super nice deal for "me."
