Coming from a guy who ran air bags for many years, you'll be much happier with SuperSprings; especially on the Tundra.

Air bags are good for leveling out loads, but they don't really do anything to reduce sway when you're running without a load, and do nothing to reduce wheel hop. They can also aggravate bed bounce, which the SuperSprings have helped reduce.

The other thing I disliked about air bags is you need to run dual lines, gauges and air sensors for the system to work as it should, you need to find a place for your pump, then wire it in and run your lines. The fittings and lines are prone to leaks after a few years, and like tires, you need to replace the bags ever 5 years because the ozone eats them up and they'll blow out on you... always while you're running with a heavy load.

I've had more than one nasty experience with this happening, both times at freeway speeds, and it's quite a shock when all the weight you're hauling shifts drastically in a split second to one side.

SuperSprings work as advertised... "Set' em and forget' em."
