Yep... apples and oranges. A truck with a soft rear end likely needs the airbags for leveling and any truck with a med/large trailer should use WDH to help stiffen the hinge at the ball.

The WDH stiffens the bounce over bumps and stops the rhythmic "porpising" that occurs in certain situations (the downward movement at the ball in the cycle is what makes the front end so light - the upward force during the cycle can make your rear tires slip when you have too much tension on the WDH). To be honest, I've run without it when on a route I know and/or for a short distance. I always run with the anti-sway no matter what.
