The problem with using stiffer springs instead of airbags is the ride when unloaded is horrible.
If you’re always chasing air leaks with airbags, someone did a poor installation.
Almost all semi trucks ride on airbag suspension. The reliability is definitely there.
If I were going to have a truck that had the camper on it all the time, then I’d do the springs.
I'd agree about the reliability of air bags.
The only times I had issues with my airbags are when idiots at repair facilities severed the air lines.
Otherwise, absolutely no problems and they stay pressurized for a year without losing any air.
