This doesn't make sense. Air bags do not remove weight from the axle, but leave it in place. A WDH removes some of the weight, moving it to other axles. Matt is pretty knowledgable. Are you sure you understood him correctly?

Or did he mean "You can add air bags, but thousands of miles with the extra weight will harm the springs"?
