Weight Distribution hitch s/u with air bags
Made a deal today to buy a Coachman Freedom Express and have never pulled a trailer since we installed air bags. Any advice appreciated. Do we set up the hitch as normal then add the required 10 PSI ...

I would set up the WDH with only the minimum of air so that the weight gets distributed to the front axles. Add air to level things off if needed.
I have a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 with the coil spring suspension that is a little soft to begin with. With a hitch weight of about 860lbs + the extra weight of any stuff in the box the WDH did not quite level things off. This spring I added the airbags and have been putting about 20-25lbs. I have distributed my weight as much as possible to the front, I am level when fully loaded, I have no sway and it improved my ride quite a bit.
