It my understanding that the bags should have 5 lbs in at all times ? do you feel that 5# in the ride?
Right now I have the RAS but am thinking of the bags because when I put 800# in the bed I have to adjust my HID projectors because of the squat

Default 40lbs/psi

is what those airbags are supporting. I keep mine at 8psi when empty to support my topper. it puts the rear height back exactly where it was when the truck was new and topperless. 20 psi towing is enough to offset any weight of camping stuff and my wdh distributes the tongue weight properly. very stable all around.

I don't know why you would want to do that. They both serve the same function.

Load a 800# quad in the back and I have to adjust the Projector headlights,otherwise I'm blinding people.
I like the RAS and would like to keep it. Thats why I would like to install airbags
The RAS does more then just level your load like the airbags,,,axle wrap,wheel hop,sway,body roll
