My tag....probably like most... has a switch with two positions. When turned off the tag never lifts and when turned on will automatically lift when the speed drops below 5 to 10 mph and in reverse.

The extra 8,000 lbs of wt transferred to the drive axle causes the rear of the coach to drop until pressure rebuilds the ride height.
I honestly can not see much difference in turning radius either way but having it up certainly eliminates the tag tires skidding sideways. What I did notice is backing into my driveway with the tag up the rear can drag on the up-slope more than I like.
Steerable tag...guess it would be OK but it would not be on my list one way or the other.
Now I almost never use the lift unless it's really tight maneuvering.
