Difference of Air Bags over WD hitch?

Other than price, is it better to use air bags or a WD hitch if you need to handle squat in a TV? I've been eyeing some adjustable air spring kits. Seems like a much nicer idea to have an adjustable suspension rather than have to hook up a WD, but don't know if performance is different or changes any other handling characteristics while towing.

  • A weight distribution hitch distributes the weight to the front of the truck and back to the trailer. Air bags don't do anything but lift the back of the truck up. Like apples and oranges.
