OK I'll buy that. I've seen them used to level a truck hitch with a bad tongue heavy
trailer. These were work trailers that were badly loaded and didn't travel far or fast.
I see where this would not be plan A but how far down the line would it be,plan E, or R?
I'm thinking of this as trim on an airplane. a minor adjustment to stiffen or lighten the springs on the truck if you can't dump or something along those lines. I had a Caddie that a ride leveler that work great. Sorry, just a thought and obviously I don't have a clue.
My AS came with a bar that appears to hook up under the hitch with a friction slide looking deal that looks like it might slow down sway but I haven't found anything that would distribute weight.

..or very slightly nose low. Air bags are a crutch. If you have an adequate tow vehicle and a properly set weight distributing hitch, the truck should be level as well.

Here I take it the truck springs should have the trucks butt high enough that with the tongue weight compress the truck to level. Then the hitch hight is set to make the trailer level or just below. Ok "what if" I'm set up as it should be ,level, with 10psi in the bags and I can't dump the back tank. This will make me tongue light and high. If I dump the 10 psi and re-level the tongue wouldn't this help till I can off load? Anything below level increases tongue weight and anything above level decreases tongue weight doesn't it ?
Please don't loose patience with me folks, I'm trying to figure this out.
