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.

I was thinking of getting a set but noticed I actually have added leafs .looks like there is no room for an airbag now

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
