If you start pumping up air bags after you've set your WDH up, it will immediately start transferring weight back to the rear of the truck. Its just physics.
Yes, it is just physics.
Air bags will never transfer any weight like the WDH does. Ever.
If you're thinking adding air upsets the WDH setup, that's not correct either. The bags do not affect the WDH weight transfer when they are not used excessively. Which is why I set up my WDH first and add only enough air to increase spring rate with ride height changing only a fraction of an inch. I run only 10-15psi in my generic Firestone bags.
I have tried, tested, and proven (via scale and actual travel) all the above. It's not guess work or theory.
Not starting an argument here. We can agree to disagree.
But I Googled the question. This came up from etrailer when someone asked the same thing.
Air bags and similar products are best for carrying loads in a vehicle, not towing a trailer. When you use both at the same time, the air bags and weight distribution systems can work against each other and you will not get the full benefits of either system.
