I was considering doing air bags and may go that route now that I've read your post. How is the overall ride while not towing?

The ride is great if you keep the pressure down around 30-40lbs. (which incidentally is enough to support weight from a trailer)
If you put it up to 50, then the ride is a tad bit harsher. (not obnoxious, but noticeable)
I just dropped them down to 20-30 lbs and leave them.
Easy to install, cheap to buy, works great.

Yes, I found that out too. I thought the airbags supported the weight by increasing in height. It's expanding width that pushes on the springs that stops the springs from compressing too much.
My springs are 16" long. The bags are 13" tall. Stock H2 backs are 10" long.
