Shocks are for ride quality, I have a 63 Impala on air/nitrogen and I don’t have shock on the front but I do run shocks on the back. Shocks will eliminate the bounce or the waviness of the air bag. If you have ever been in an old car with bad shock or in a Lincoln or Cadillac and you go over a bump and you get the waviness like you where in a boat well shock help that from happing.

I have never put in air cylinders but I know the basic concept of them. I don’t know the ride or how well they perform. It sounds like if you change from air shock to bags or cylinders that will fix your problem in theory. If you are comfortable will how the back is lifting than don’t change any of your other components, just change out the air shock first and if then you want it to be faster than start changing your air components.
