do you think in a bogey situation a truck fitted with airbags instead of springs would be at a disadvantage?

Aren't all big booms, (52 and larger) on air ride suspensions? Ours are and I can tell you from expierience, our 52's are the best ride around.They drive like Cadillacs.

My old 52 had them on all three front axles,and I liked the ride,unless you hit the whoop-de-doos,then I felt like a ping-pong ball in a box!Because of the limiting cables!! Just cruising,she felt stable and soft!But boy ,let one blow,then that axle hit the stops,and you felt like you were driving a rock!!

We have a 42 Schwing twin steer with air bags. Lift the front end then make sure they line up when you bring her back to earth.
