Is there any (good) value to having air bags installed on a travel trailer or even a light duty pickup to improve the ride and/or stability?
Thanks,
Tom

On a trailer? NO. adding shocks is probably the biggest positive you can do on a trailer. On a truck? Maybe. If all you want to do is level a truck that is sagging a bit when loaded, but is still within the manufacturers GVWR/GCWR numbers then yes air bags certainly will help. But, if your TV is overloaded, no amount of band aids will change the fact you are overloaded.
