• Easily Adjust for Trailer Weight, Best Ride & Load Control: Fine tune the PSI for best ride, load control & trailer weight. Just add air pressure for heavier loads and reduce air pressure for lighter loads. When you are towing a trailer, the road bumps and jerks displace the weight. An air hitch absorbs this and cushions this so when a bump causes the weight to come off the front of your vehicle which can put too much tongue weight on it. An air hitch absorbs this. Without an air hitch this can results in poor steering and braking. When a bump causes the weight to be displaced and put too much weight on the rear trailer tires. An air hitch absorbs this. Without an air hitch, this can cause your trailer to sway.
