If the trucks are spec'd exactly the same, there should be a 33lb reduction in payload on the truck with air suspension. (Due to the difference in weight between the truck with regular suspension and the truck with the 4 Corner Air Suspension.)
No the opposite you gain 70 pound of payload since air suspension are less heavy then coil spring

There's no way its lighter. Compressor, tanks, lines, etc, it's gotta be heavier than a steel spring truck that doens't have all that. Even if the strut assemblies were lighter than the comparable shock and spring assemblies, non-air trucks don't have the other stuff

I got the 33lbs for the air suspension directly from Rams 2019 1500 fleet optional equipment weight spreadsheet. I don’t have a link but here’s a screen shot. It’s actualy 34lbs, my mistake.
