To each his own. I pull a 10K wood trailer without a WD hitch and the air bags are one of the reasons I can do that besides other mods. It pulls just fine.
Air bags are not a replacement for a WD hitch but are a huge improvement over the factory setup. I regularly pull a heavy tongued 24ft Security travel trailer workout a WD hitch.
The only reason I even commented was to many people here talk down air bags with out ever having used them and seeing in person what they do and don't do.
