So what I understand now is that no matter how new the truck is if it has leaf springs it is going to have the same ride but if I put air suspension and get rid of the leaf springs it will ride0 as good or better then I brand new truck with leaf springs
However according to another person on this chain of holsteins a brand new truck outfitted the way it comes stock or ride better than my old truck
Well, lets just say most will agree that newer trucks ride better than older trucks. Suspension, isolation, interior sound proofing (which affects perceptions), better seats... but, it's only opinion which is sort of like .... everyone has one.

, so if I install kelderman or air link suspension on my 2001 Dodge Dually I can be assured of a great smooth ride that is good as a new truck I hope that if there is anybody that disagrees with this they'll let me know probably as I need to do something right away for my wife to be able to continue to ride in this truck
My answer would be yes. Someone else is going to chime in 'maybe' and I suspect you'll have a different idea once you spend the money.
Face it; you're trying to get a donkey with a pack to ride like a Town Car. Ain't going to happen.
Ideas that folks are voicing are relative to their understanding, perceptions, expectations and above all, experience. What I call smooth as butter (based on previous sentence, million miles plus in trucks in everything from p/u grocery getters to small chassis flatbeds to med duty trucks to sprung and air ride haulers) might seem completely unacceptable to you.
There's no gospel here, and if you're looking for absolute "assurance", hmmmm... I won't offer it.
