Air ride and weight distribution sequence

[Socalcamper05]

Question: I'm using rear Firestone air bags in my Silverado. What's the proper sequence when your applying your weight distribution system. Im worried about improper applications and it counter acting each other. Just curious what's the sequence as far as applying air, attaching the trailer and applying the weight distribution system. Thanks in advance

Are talking about initially setting up the wdh or just hitching up to a previously set up hitch?

I'm assuming take the air out. Attach the trailer. Apply the weight distribution then air up the bags?

This works for both Air Lift and Firestone bags... https://www.airliftcompany.com/workshop/weight-distribution-bars-air-springs/

That was how I did it when I was towing large cargo trailers with WDH and air bags on the TV.

The WDH system needs to perform the bulk of the balancing work, the air bags are fine tuning and supplemental.

same question here
So you will do you WD hitch first and then inflate air bags? Or You inflate air bags to level the trailer then hook your WD hitch?

I would think adjust air bags after hitching, payload varies and they are there to even out your TV.

But then your wd hitch chains will be little loose or no?
