I have a 1992 Damon Challenger. I use my rig weekly all over the Southeast and the back bedroom is extremely a rough ride. My 5.9/Allison Pusher is on an Oshgosh X Line Chassis with springs. Can someone point me in the direction of aftermarket airbags to help ease the rough ride? Has anyone added bags and would it even be worthwhile?
Thanks!

Look for a Kelderman system. They usually replace the springs with softer ones and add air bags.

yeah - ADDING bags just increases the spring rate and roughens the ride. If yo go with a lower rate though, the ride height will likely drop, and that means taking another look at alignment, bump steer, wheel clearance in bump, etc.
Shocks could be playing a big role in your ride, along with tires.

As you add air to the airbags, it takes more of the load off the springs. I don't see why you think it adds to the spring rate.
