Air Bags and ride quality
Some non-WL RVs with springs will install air bags to assist in leveling the vehicle while on the road and to supplement the springs. However, replacing springs with air bags requires a major re-engineering of the suspension system. 
Supplemental air bags may help "some" with improving the ride, but the cheaper solution for a true air bag suspension would be to buy a newer BB with full air bag suspension.

Hi Gardner,  When crawling around under the bus I noticed what I 
thought at the time was a mounting point on the rear axil that looked 
like it had some remnants of a air bag on it.  Didn't pay too much 
attention to it but I'll have to look again.  Just wondering if it 
could be done and how much I would gain and what the damages would 
be. I need to get a ride in a couple different BB's to see what I am 
missing (or not).  The previous owner used some parts off a newer FC 
when he did his modifications.  I thought he said it was a 1978 but 
it may not have been.
