I'm so close to putting my project into the water. So instead of springs ,my trailer has round black rubber bags with an air valve in them. What shape there in I don't know, haven't tried to blow them up. Do you think I should replace them with springs??

Airbags last a long time if not exposed to sun light. if there is no visible cracking I would leave them.

The best riding 18 wheelers ride on airbags. Do you know how much air pressure to put in them? I'd start at 5-10 psi and take a test ride,if no one else comes on here to recommend a pressure setting.
