Opinions on air bags for 2015 HD 3500 to carry my Lance 855s
Looking for pros and cons. Dealer said I could use them and they would be great but not totally necessary. What do you think ????

The springs are supported by the vehicle's frame just like the airbags are, so in that respect it makes not an iota of difference. On the GM trucks, the airbags are mounted wider than the springs so there's even more width/sway support. The airbags centerline is farther from bag to bag than the spring centerline from spring to spring. Wider is better and you control how much extra lift by the psi inflation. Couldn't possibly add sway if inflated properly to the load carried.
Of course, any nimrod could inflate the bags to 100 psi when carrying 2000 lbs of high COG weight and then complain that it's tippy. DUH!!!
For the over 4000 lbs of loaded to travel TC we carry, our bags are always inflated to 65-70 psi when the camper is on. 45-50 psi with the 12,800 lb loaded to travel 5th wheel attached. PERFECT!
There comes a time in life when you have to actually use that gray noodle that's stored inside your head!
