Trailsaver BD3 question

Im picking up a used Trailsaver BD3 and had a quick question on hooking/unhooking from those that have the same hitch. Before unhooking the fiver do you let the air out first? I have read that some do because then the hitch will 'shoot up' once the load is taken off and could possibly cause damage.

Just looking at what others do.

Thanks

    I air mine down ,if you don't it will bang hard on the pin box.
    no harm done if you forget.

    Can't believe it "shoot up". It's the same airbag as many other things use. I wouldn't touch it. Just hitch and unhitch as usual,
