The other option is to properly set up the hitch to eliminate the squat.
A trailer's tongue weight will lift a certain amount of weight off the front axle and put it on the rear axle. A properly set up WDH will return 50-100% of that weight lifted off the front back onto the front axle. But that still leaves most of the tongue weight on the rear axle. (a small portion goes to the trailer axle)
That remaining weight on the rear axle will cause some sag, unless you use air bags or some other suspension aid.
If you completely remove ALL rear end sag with your WDH to "eliminate the squat", you are likely putting too much weight back onto the front axle and potentially causing problems because of too much "oversteer".
