What do air bags do?

After 60,000 miles, of which 23,000 miles are towing, I am getting some bounce in the rear. The shocks are the OEM.

Somebody suggested I add air bags to stiffen rear. My WD hitch keeps the rig level and the F-150/Dutchmen combination tows fine.

What do air bag do and would they improve anything while towing.

    If you didn't have the bounce before, I would think replace oem stuff (shocks, springs) first.

    Though once you have them out, you could add stuff...
