Do airbags help?

“I have to really tighten the chains to bring the rear end of the truck up so the front end comes down and doesn't float when towing.”

I believe you are seeking to be level for looks. And TV’s your payload is? Must be a very light duty F150. Air bags won’t increase your payload. “Shifting” weight doesn’t increase payload either.

Its going to be one heck of a rough ride with airbags, especially if you pump them up to raise the rear end more than 2" or so.


Be better to remove tongue weight from the trailer.

Air bags don't transfer weight to the front. They'll stiffen the rear but that still doesn't change the dynamics any.
