Airlift loadlifter 5000 airbags

Since nobody has responded to this, I'll share what I do know and it might help you a bit.
I have the load lifter 5000's with the internal jounce pad, so I don't have to have any air in them at all. If you haven't ordered yet, you might look into them.
People that have air bags installed seem to be split on whether the ride is more harsh or less harsh. I've read where many people report the ride is actually softer. My truck, being an F250 with all the camper and towing options available never had a "car like" ride to begin with, but I don't think the bags have made any difference with that.
Even with the lighter bed of an aluminum truck, I tend to doubt 5 psi would really have much impact. After all, 5 psi is a fraction of the pressure most people use when towing, and insignificant when compared to the maximum psi they are capable of.

Thanks. I had the 5000's with the internal jounce bumper on my '16 and when unloaded the truck would bounce off of the bumpers like a pogo stick. I ended up putting the RAS on that truck but didn't care for it either. On this one I was planning on going with the ones without the internal jounce bumper but Airlift says to expect a rough ride when empty because the new aluminum truck is so light. I have had air bags on three trucks but I don't want a ride like my '16 had
