Nice! No need on the 35% springs, just put 10-20 PSI in the bags. They'll ride better than the stiffer springs.

AIR BAGS vs SPRINGS vs COIL AIR BAGS I THINK BUT NOT SURE OF THE PROPER TERM 2020 RAM LARAMIE 1500 PROJECT

The onboard air is convenient. I’d just run one line for both bags though and don’t mess with the self leveling. Been there, done that. It was a total headache and ended up trashing all the parts. Those systems are just way too finicky. Total waste of time and money. You can read my build thread to see the details. I currently have onboard air and one line to each bag. Sometimes one side is higher than the other for some reason, so I have to make adjustments. If there is just one line, the pressure will equalize between the bags. Now, I know that a full tank of gas, which is on the drivers side, can make a difference, but it’s minimal. No need for different springs. If you are hauling more than what those airbags can handle, you’re overloading your truck. Plus, when unloaded, you’re most likely going have a pretty harsh ride.

I know some member out here have had issues with the auto levelling from timber grove…. Not sure it works the same on ASAM as opposed to CRM
Ill' leave springs alone then. I did order new rubber for the top of spring.
I figured self leveling could get pretty finicky but Id still like to have control inside the truck. Springs are aborted now.
I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with the bags and more to do with the kit. Maybe that is what you mean. I should keep it simple but that's hard for me to do.
That was me.

That was me. The Haldex leveling valves that he was using in the kits had issues. He actually stopped selling them for that reason. Now, there may be another company that uses something better, but I imagine it’s still a pain to deal with. Maybe AccuAir?

I’m not sure how well auto leveling would work since you will be retaining the coil springs. You would probably have to disable the system when you are not carrying a load. Usually the ASAMs are kept at a very low air pressure when not being utilized to support a heavy load. This way the truck goes back to using just the coil springs.
