I thought you were not supposed to run the arb with any bags.... they are fighting each other

I'd consider a few psi in a RR air bag as similar to adding a bit of preload to the anti roll bar. Might be quicker to change psi than to get up under the car to adjust preload?

But yes, in many cases the anti roll bar is sufficient on its own...
