Air Bags
Will air bags let you go over your pin weight?

I'm not sure I understand your question...

Air bags on the truck will help level the truck, they don't increase its payload rating.

We won't ever own another truck without airbags. Helps smooth the ride while towing FW.

What he said. In addition, it helps smooth the ride some. But it does not let you go over your pin weight.
