Air bags don’t fix the problems of too much tongue weight, they just mask them.

Most car manufacturers won't cover damage if a vehicle limits are exceeded.

The airbags will lift the rear of the vehicle so it isn't squatting. You still have to stay within the vehicles weight limits. There really is nothing you can do to increase that limit other than getting a different tow vehicle. My truck 1/2 ton truck squats a little so I use airbags. The TrailManor is well below my capacity too.

But airbags don’t put weight back on the front wheels for steering and braking traction.

Who is talking about exceeding the tow vehicles’ weight limit? The 2417 and 2518 are well within towing specifications.Even the 2619 is within, albeit on the limit which is why I’m leaning lighter.
