What do you mean by distribute weight? I have never looked into airbags, so pardon my ignorance. It is my understanding that air bags just raise the rear of the truck to level the ride.

blah blah blah !

It tows great, I have been pulling it all over the place with ease.

They dractically under estimate on the manual to protect themselves !

Nissan Loyalist; If you're still monitoring this thread I was wondering if that is the standard kingpin for your Cougar or is it a custom extension? I know I've seen after-market clamp-on kingpin extenders as well but I don't know how far out you can stick the kingpin before you get serious leverage issues working against you.
