Airbags are completely fine if adjusted correctly. Most people put far too much air in the bags. You can change the number of contact points from 6 or more to two. Obviously, that isn’t a good thing.

You need to maintain contact with the overloads if you use airbags. That’s the reason for my Energy Suspension bump stops. They are a couple of inches higher than the factory overload stops. Btw, this isn’t my creation. 15 years ago when I was deciding how I would setup my SRW, I followed the advice of others that had done the same thing.
For the record, I use the same approach with my F450. It’s worked well for me for 15 years with both SRW and F450 DRW. YMMV.
You can setup airbags,Ttimbrens, SumoSpringsand Supersprings wrong or right. They all can work just fine.
E rated tires aren’t equal. They have different amounts of capacity, and even then only at the rated PSI. I’m assuming you probably have 18s. If you do, you can also go all of the way to 4080 with some brands.
Have fun.
