Default Air Suspension? Damping? Smooth ride?

My bad back tells me to get the smoothest riding, least jarring ride I can. Someone told me the air shocks for the Softail like Shotgun don't have the damping capabilities like a Works shock has. What can you tell me about this?

they do. One switch for ride heighth and on for rebound. Had mine installed a few weeks back and its a night and day difference from stock.

Yes, they do offer both settings. What year and model bike do you ride?

Actually Shotgun is one of the few air rides that offers a damping or rebound setting independent of the ride height setting.
