Does the air suspension remove need for a weight distribution hitch?

I am not judging, rather just asking a question. Why would you remove the sway bar to drive in the rain?
from rvusa.com " We just had an EAZ-LIFT sway control installed between our Tahoe and travel trailer yesterday and when we got home read the printed information that came with it. There is a paragraph that is in bold print that says: Caution: When traveling under slippery conditions such as wet, icy or oily roads, remove the sway control " https://forum.rvusa.com/threads/re-no-sway-bar-in-rain.343/ ...that being said, there are SOME types of WD hitches that have the sway-control built in through the design, they don't need to be messed with...it's the old fashioned friction-bar type,(like I have), that are the ones you have to watch out for. If you don't take them off, you at least have to loosen them up, or you'll be in a ditch.

I read my manual for the equalizer WDH. I will double check, but I do not recall seeing that in the manual.
I noticed you replied that you have an Equal-i-zer hitch like I do. This hitch is 'all weather'. The anti-sway is built into 4 friction points in the hitch. There is nothing to take off/turn off. Some anti-sway hitches have a separate piece that you have to take off in wet or snowy weather. Fortunately, Equal-i-zer is not one of them. Cheers!

Thanks for the info. I looked again at the manual and found nothing about removal for rain
