That seems to be counter-intuitive. The tongue weight acts on the hitch. The moment about the rear axle creates an up force (unloading) at the front axle.

Air shocks will prevent settling of the rear axle, but can not counter the up force on the front axle. The front axle must(it's physics) experience some decreased steering ability. Air shocks, it seems, are good for creating an illusion of increased steering control.

Just sayin'....
