air bag assist on hold Cabovers

That was supposed to say OLD not Hold cabovers. Anyone try running Firestone type air bags to assist with the ride? My 58 Cabover ride isn't the best given I have leaf springs up front and back and just shocks in front.

I have seen semi's run airbag assist in back. Curious if it would improve the ride.

Possibly

Semis in general, do not run airbag assist, rather they have a true airride suspension, without leaf springs. If you want to improve your ride with airbags, you can configure the airbags in the "assist" way, but remove a few leafs from the rear.
