Air bags increase tongue or pin weight??? Interesting!!

Came across this video.. It seems air bags increase TW when adjusted for a level ride.

I never would of assumed this..

I would think the same for the 5th wheel guys. Its interesting none of the airbag guys stated this in their scale measurements.

At least I have not read about it. Maybe its a big secret.

Would that mean preferred would be add a leafs, of bump stop for the overloads would do a better job?

Im trying to figure in my head why this is so..

  • it would informative if they showed the measured TW level and then tongue low.
  • Where you been? People been advocating for loading up to the RAWR for years.
  • Maybe because the people are trying to sell weight distributing systems? :)
