No offense intended!
If the equalizer hitch is properly tensioned it disperses weight evenly on the truck. Every time the truck hits a large bump in the road the rear air bags compress then rebound producing a bouncing. The torsion bars will lessen that bounce. Thus not being HAZARDOUS, but advantageous in smoothing out the ride, the two systems work synergistically with each other. That’s all I was trying to point out.
