Default GX Rear Shocks

Need to replace my 08 GX rear shocks. I tow a boat to the beach several times a year and love the air auto adjust feature. I have never owned a better tow ride than the GX. I've seen several posts on the benefits of 4600/5100 bilsteins but I've never seen it stated what happens to my airbags (if anything) if I go this route.

Airbags can get replaced with conventional springs. You lose active suspension and air ride. Or just replace shocks and keep airbags if all is working back there
