Most likely if you you just let down the air in the bags till you are on your overloads you well have people flashing their lights at you when you drive at night. It well most likely put you headlights out of adjustment unless you aim them for when the the camper is on the truck. On my F350 I really didn't need the air bags but they are nice leveling from side to side as my camper is heavier on one side.
When I installed my stable loads I just soaped the pads down with a solution of water and soap and used a big screw driver and poped the pads right out of the slot. Now my truck rides on the stable loads and it is very stable and level.
