Installing airbags will do absolutely nothing to prevent this problem. The issue is not due to bouncing up and down, it is due to fore/aft movement of the trailer and tow vehicle, called chucking.
There are many variable that contribute to this, such as length and weight of trailer, wheelbase of tow vehcile, etc.
If you experience this condition, your choices are to either find a different trailer and/or truck configuration, or install an air ride or absorbing hitch such as a 5th airborne or mor ryde pin box.
