If your tongue weight is 1200# then that will be between 300 and 360# your tt is taking off of your front axle not counting for the rear suspension taking weight off also. If I knew your actual measurements I could get that number closer to exact.
With the airbags, when I tilted the hitch head back a washer, once engaged the front was lower than before the airbags were installed, so I knew that was too much tilt and went back to the original tilt. It's good to know that there is a good amount of leeway in the adjustment as our trailer is always loaded differently and so is the truck for each trip.
