    Also when the flip is up, the airbags collapse and fold all different ways and I wonder if they can get damaged in the long term. Bouncing down the road.

    I was thinking of doing that, but I didn't know if that would upset the trailer suspension or cause over inflation on the flip. IDK.

    I should think that the system doesn't generate enough pressure to pop an airbag. Right?

    I have quarter turn valves on mine, I unhook the supply line before I flip it and leave air in the bags. There’s only a few psi in the bags and they’re isolated from the suspension system. I use the same valves to control the amount of air in the bags to facilitate putting the pins in.
