Airlift 5000 airbags and WDH
Wife and I are thinking of going back to a travel trailer from a truck camper and had some concerns with airbags combined with WDH. We had a 2010 prowler 33 foot TT a couple years ago and when we were...

So, how about this. Pump up your air bags to some pre-determined level (say 10psi?). (Doesn't have to be level. My truck is permanently lifted by 1" in the rear because of the Roadmaster Active Suspension upgrade). Hitch up the trailer and adjust your WDH concentrating on returning weight to the front end (reducing front end lift). Check for improved handling. If you need more air to improve handling, do it, but then (if I understand this correctly) be prepared to add more tension to your WDH to counteract the additional upforce? Again, the objective is to reduce the front end lift, not the rear end sag. Repeat as necessary.
That's exactly what I've been advocating for several years.
Some example advice is given in this post:
If you feel it is necessary to use air bags in conjunction with a WDH, you should first add some air to the bags and then adjust the WDH.
If the rear of the TV still squats more than you like
{or you don't have enough air pressure for the desired "ride"}
,
add some more air and re-adjust the WDH. Repeat if necessary.
