I noticed with the airbags; that the airbag on the drivers side has a little lever above it. The lever must have something to do with using the airbags. The lever is engaged when there is weight on the truck bed (fifth wheel). How would this work.

Thanks.

The process is reversed when you take the weight of the trailer off of the truck.
