I've put air bags in three separate Dodge's, latest being my 96 1500 (Also 06 3500 SRW, and 16 3500 DRW). They work great and I couldn't recommend them enough for anyone who hauls with worn out leafs or just wants to have minimal squat. Easy install if you have a basic understanding of using hand tools.

If you have the overload spring (one on top) you just have to remove it it's not hard I think it's 6 bolts.

Depends on what you are after. The airbags will figure you a soft ride (unlike leafs) plus you'll get 5000lbs leveling capability. A lot of people with 2500/3500s will put 1500 leafs on them and use the air bags because it makes the ride softer. It's all in what you want
