There is a few downsides to cylinders in general.
1. Moving seal inside, allot shorter life span.
2. You are removing the shocks, you will never have the same ride quality/handling.
3. Air cylinders make noise.
4. Higher pressure to lift, less load cap.
5. Very sensitive to the elements.
6. Water/rust/debit damages seals inside cylinders.
The main advantages to cylinders in general.
1. Ease of install with right brackets
2. Lower cost for over seas cylinders
3. Fit inside smaller spaces (i.e. Honda's)
Typically general rule of thumb. If you can run an air bag definitely go with it. If the bag's will not fit you have to run air cylinders. Thats why no manufactures with O.E.M. Suspension run air cylinders, Yet, Several use air bags.
