Unless that trailer is real tongue heavy, I would venture to guess that the airbags are not really needed.
You are taking height measurements. Which is usually a good idea when trying to determining where the weight is going. However, with the airbags, you want to make sure that you are not taking too much weight off of the spring bars. They do provide good lateral stability which does help with the handling and towing manners.
In other words, the airbags may be undermining what the spring bars are trying to accomplish. I just don't think that trailer is heavy enough to warrant any real pressure in those bladders.
Just my opinion.
