Expert Reply:
When using a weight distribution system with air bag helper springs you will first couple the trailer to your 2011 Ford F-150. Do not engage the spring bars yet. Then add air to the air bags. Last, engage the spring bars. After checking the set up you may need to add or remove air from the air bags.
