^^good info. I had Firestone bags on a Class C and hated them.
Y'all aren't using airbags to properly then in situations where body roll (high cog loads) is a concern.
The bags cannot support the majority of the load and take the majority of the load off the leaf springs. Well they can, but you will have the proverbial bouncy house and alot of body roll.
Assuming you're not just horribly overloaded and require the bags to take the brunt of the load, then as long as you keep all the springs engaged, main leaf, upper overload if present, either by sag or by engaging them earlier int he suspension stroke, the airbags won't add to the body roll noticeably.
Sway bar helps even more.
