Airbag Suspension and Unhitching Question

For those of you with airbag suspension helper springs like the Firestone Ride-Rite. When unhitching your 5th wheel, does the TV jump when the pin box clears the hitch? Is it best to de-flate the airbags prior to unhitching, or does it matter? Should I set the landing gear real high before unhitching? I have this fear of my truck jumping up and damaging the trailer once the weight comes off.
