Expert Reply:
In most cases if you were running air bags and a weight distribution system and still felt you needed additional suspension support like from a RAS you'd be most likely over the capacity of the truck. Now the RAS part # RAS3611-Y can easily be used with an air bag system and it would be preferred to get the suspension support from it instead of the bags. The simple solution would be to use less air pressure in the bags. You most likely could even run the bags near empty.
