Should Weight Distribution be Set Up Before or After Inlflating Air Lift 1000 Springs on Ram 1500

Question:

I just installed the Airlift 1000HD AirBags. I am wondering when should I inflate the bags. Before Hitching? After hitching, BUT before setting the weight distribution bars? Or after hitching AND setting the weight distribution bars?

Thank you very much for your purchase directly from etrailer of the Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60818HD for your Ram 1500.

What you want to do is inflate the springs before setting up the weight distribution; so inflate them to the same amount you would as if you were towing your trailer, and then set up the weight distribution.
