Somerville, Indiana
If you really want to stiffen up as you go through the whoop dee doos, just dump the air until you are back on level footing...curves that would otherwise scrape the bottom of the right side of the front bumper at 70, seem calm with the air dumped.

There is more roll to an air suspension, no matter what you do except spring for a 4 inch torsion bar, specially with tall van trailers with shifting loads...have to pay attention when the curve is marked at 25 mph, better stay at 25 mph.

just like lighter vehicles, stiff suspension = good cornering...soft suspension = roll thru the whoop dee doos.
