Its only when I carry and tow in combination that I will use air bags and WDH.

Air bags should not be used to level out your TV. If your truck is sagging at any time, i.e. the back goes down much further than the front, your weight is not properly distributed. When you tow, you can compensate for this to a degree using a WDH. When you are not towing, you cannot compensate at all for this (that I know of). As others (and myself) had stated here, air bags do nothing to distribute weight, and they certainly, absolutely, positively DO NOT increase the payload capacity of your vehicle. Improve ride in some cases, yes.

You will do yourself a huge favor if you take 10 min and read through this old but authoritative thread on this very topic:
