AIR SHOCKS or AIR BAGS??? Need Help!

I have recently done the mod where you remove a leaf (the one above the overload spring) so that my truck sits level, and am wondering what would be better for me, the Gabriel air shocks or Air Bags. All I am wanting is to be able to still haul a decent load on a trailer with out sitting on my frame. I have read a lot about the Air Bags and they seam to be good, haven't heard much about the Gabriel Air Shocks. What do you guys think?
Also, was I correct in removing the leaf above the overload or was I to remove the overload spring itself???

Gabriel Air Shocks:

I never recommend air shocks because the factory shock mounts were never designed to be weight bearing...I'd bag it...

I have air bags and really like them. My Titan still sits nice when loaded and pulling my camper.

Depends on what tire you want to run. 45 series...no problem at all. 325/65 20...not a chance.
