My hitch instructions say the opposite..."If your tow vehicle is equipped with air bags,
we recommend that you inflate them to the pressure you are expecting to tow
with before setting up the hitch. Inflating them after hitch set up changes the
relationship between tow vehicle and trailer, and can reduce the amount of
weight distribution and sway control you get from your hitch."
So, are you making stuff up or do other hitch brands recommend different things? we recommend that you inflate them to the pressure you are expecting to tow
with before setting up the hitch. Inflating them after hitch set up changes the
relationship between tow vehicle and trailer, and can reduce the amount of
weight distribution and sway control you get from your hitch."

If you guys had the 157" WB it would help some with the sway.

Until you have the WDH setup properly, how will you know how much air you will need? Guess at it?
If you need air bags to compensate for the weight, then you need a bigger truck or a lighter trailer.
With that said, if you setup the WDH without the bags, then you are properly setting up the WDH, if you do it with the bags inflated, then you are not. If you have a bag failure and your hitch is setup to the bags, you no longer have a properly setup WDH.
If I were to do it, they would only be there to help stabilize the ride, on a properly setup truck that is not overloaded, and not the other way around. With everything hitched and properly configured, add enough air to where there is a barely perceptible rise at the hitch and that should be perfect.

Countless hours of research and talking to the experts, not making anything up, do your own research. Watch this video learn a few things.
Like ^^^^ He said, How are your supposed to know what to fill the bags up to? Guess oh today is going to be 48psi? Set the WDH up correctly then fill the bags and get the truck level bags are not going to move the weight forward on your truck they only help level it.
