Air Shocks or Air Bags on TT
Thinking about adding airbags or air shocks on my travel trailer to improve the ride and to allow very easy side to side leveling. Thoughts?

Really, Having the ability to raise one side or the other with a device between the chassis and the axles is difficult to comprehend? It's EXACTLY the same thing as driving up on some boards to level the RV side to side.....
Assuming you mean leveling when parked, that's greatly different from air bags for running down the road. I had presumed based on your original post, that you had issues while towing that you were trying to fix.
If it's towing fine and you are breaking springs...again, go down to the CAT and get the full weights. Yes, hitch weight is better than nothing but better to get the full picture...particularly the axle weights if you are breaking springs.
In theory if you put in air bags with separate air systems on each side, you could do a bit of leveling with it...I'm guessing that there may be other issues. If it was that simple, I would expect they would be commonly in use but they aren't.
