I would think that a weight distribution kit would mostly eliminate the rake and make for a safer trip.
This is what I use to tow 3k and love them! They recommend at least 5lbs to keep them from flopping around at any time, but I DD with about 10lbs in them and it makes the bumps on the highway less jolting, and they max out at 35lbs. I use about 30lbs for towing 3k.
No. If you ride with the 5lb min, you wont notice them. I use 10lbs to firm it just enough to stop the Jeep from throwing itself around when hitting nasty bumps on the highways.
Seems like a lot of work and extra potential points of leak/failure. It is recommended to do separate lines if you have uneven loading (like a roof top tent) but single line for more even loading (like towing a trailer).
Not so much the weight of the trailer 1000 lbs, but rather the Tongue wt. Here is how I mitigate it:
Nobody said not to level/load the trailer properly, agreed that tongue weight is very important. But the 2dr and soft springs sag way too much with even light loading, and take weight OFF your front axle. My first time towing without the bags, any hard braking felt unsafe from the weight of the trailer pushing the Jeep around the fighting the steering.Not so much the weight of the trailer 1000 lbs, but rather the Tongue wt. Here is how I mitigate it:
1). With your trailer loaded if possible get a couple of stick on bubble levels. I use 4. One one each side atop the fender centered above the axle and if you a common V nose, one on each legs of the V.
2). Level up the trailer on a flat hard surface so that you can also back your Jeep up to it.
3). Back up Jeep to the Hitch at the front of the V. Hitch needs to have an attachment ball installed.
4). Where is your Ball in relationship to the height of the hitch at the V?
5). Ball to high? or to low. Measure the distance below or above based upon the center of the hitch.
6). Head to Wal Mart or Tractor supply or even Home Depot. They all got balls. Lets say the ball on the Jeep sits 2 in LOWER than the hitch vertical center. Go BUY a Hitch with a 2 Inch DROP...YES drop, because when you go to put you hitch on you will flip the hitch upside down and now its a 2 inch higher.
As for air bags, well the FIRST thing almost 100% of the folks that buy RV towables do is buy air bags. They hook up and note their truck now has a squat, buy air bag, fill them and bingo squat gone...makes sense? YA THINK? Not if you understand what air bags do.
They LIFT your vehicle by exerting up/down pressure on your axle and frame. 4 inch squat gone and all if good...NO its not, you just shifted tongue weight forward to the FRONT axle. This affects, Steering, braking, handling and leaning resulting in plowing.
I installed a set not to long ago, friend bought a 43 ft horse trailer. Up front was a custom 300 gallon water tank. That is because this a trailer set up for show horses. The tank was the passenger side and provided water to the shower on board and the shower for washing the horses. NOW we installed a set of airbags 7500 series and he leveled out his truck laterally. Now the weight is shifted to the light side and the truck handles properly.
They work great when employed to do what they were meant for, lateral leveling and I have employed them several times when I had 5th wheels.
Strongly suggest you go get your righ with trailer unloaded CAT scaled and comeback and Get CAT scaled loaded. About $12.50
Here a CAT Scale Ticket, my F 450 Truck, Camper and my trailer empty

I think you are missing my point.
