While adding airbags may make the truck and trailer more level and smooth out the ride somewhat, they do not increase the payload of a tow vehicle. Just because you have airbags, spring helpers or other similar suspension add-ons, that doesn't translate into being able to tow extra weight or "allowing more hitch weight". It might feel and looks like it does but it doesn't.
