Air bag suspension

I have a 2015 Bambi towed with a Nissan pathfinder. It tows great with just the receiver hitch...no sway even in high winds/semis, and little bounce. The tongue weight does drop the rear end 3+ inches, really the only problem. I'm considering installing air bag suspension to level it a little since I really don't want the hassle of a distributing hitch. Has anyone done this? Or am I trying to solve a problem that really doesn't exist?

3+ drop can be fixed with air shocks as well as air bags.
Upgrading your leaf springs will help too.
I was told to use an anti sway no matter what size trailer pulled.
If you have a tire blow out; an anti sway will help bring the Bambi to a safe stop.
