I know others have different opinions, but my opinion is that if your truck needs airbags, you don't have enough truck.
Air bags help redistribute weight to the front axle and back to the trailer axles. They also give a more comfy ride.

Go to the scales.
Weight truck/trailer combo W/O air bags inflated
Then re-weigh with them inflated
There will little change in trucks F/R axle weights and trailer axle weights
Air bags pump up the rear of truck but the pin weight is still there being carried by tracks rear axle.
Air bags are NOT like w WDH which uses a 'fulcrum principle' to transfer weight.
Air bags have no 'fulcrum' to lever weight any where but UP
Go ahead and weigh and then post those numbers.
