Air bags are not?

I need to hear some opinions. I have a set of like new air bags that I can get for a reasonable price. The question is will the air bags benefit me?
TV is a 09 F150 crew cab 4X4 with 5.4 and heavy tow package. The TT is a 24' Coleman with a dry weight of 4,400lbs. WDH is a 1,000/10,000 Equalizer. My thoughts are that the air bags might help me adjust my rig to the varying loads I encounter. Some times the bed of the truck is almost empty. But the next time I may have a full load of fire wood. Then on the way home all the fire wood is gone and the truck is light again. All thoughts are appreciated.

    Thats exactly what I do for the same reason :B
  • Air bags would help in the situation you describe. They are for weight carried in the bed of the truck. They are not good for adjusting for weight carried by the hitch. A WD hitch is needed for that, which you already have.
