    Ride will be less rough without bags. But if you tow I would keep them.

    Maybe save your money and swap with someone who wants it. Are you close to NY?

    your not going to get a better ride taking off the OEM bags and going with westcott.

    and the bags aren't going to blow out.

    my .02, just drive your truck.

    I think Toyota knew what they were doing with the airbag system a $400 kit from an aftermarket company just can't be a real improvement imho

    ^ this.

    This is the best riding , hauling, and towing truck I've ever had, the bags work great, leave it alone, toyota designed a great system.

    I have the airbags and love the adjustability. I would personally go with a bag spacer like readylift and retain them. And having switches that don't do anything in the center console would bug me.

    But I do understand your situation. Let us know how it goes if you do the swap.

    Pros:
    You can get bunch different lift spring options
    Cons:
    SAG SAG SAG when towing.
    Diminished ride comfort
    Need helper bags now (Might not work with lift coils)

    I have Load leveling air ride and AVS...I would not do the downgrade, ever. I run a readylift air bag spacer lift kit and its awesome. Ride remained nice and smooth, I still have the AVS function and got a nice amount of lift without pumping more air into the bags.

    This is all great till your air suspension blows out and now your truck is sagging from the back and Toyota won’t want to cover it because of your spacer lift kit, this happened to someone i know and Toyota did not cover wanted him to come 10K+ out of pocket

    I've yet to see a stock truck blow a bag. Toyota won't cover anything suspension related if it's aftermarket, coil sprung or air bag, so there's that too. I've been on a air bag spacer for a long time now...zero issues. There's plenty more guys running these lifts without popping bags than there are known cases of failure. And even then we don't know if they were setup or used right when they blew
