Even if you add air bags, the tire wear or load to the front and rear truck axles don't change, just the ride height and stiffness. Air bags may help in the lateral stability in winds similar to a rear sway bar.

If you meant to say trailer leveling on the tire wear on the tandem axle set, then I agree.
Then I guess there is no reason to level anything never mind.
