Spring vs: air suspension

[warren madson]

I have an 80 with springs. having never riden in one
with air bags can't compare but I think the ride is
good for the 15+ tons. my wife has a bad back so got
her a air ride truck seat and its fine with her now. I
know that I have never had to replace an air bag or
the leaveling things they talk about. as for power, or
lack of, go slow enjoy life. it's the only one you
got, and you can't see it all anyway. Have had no
problem with a toad don't even know it's back there,
have to turn on the camera to check' 8.6 mpg with gen
run aint bad, for a house!
