    Poor wording I guess. Inside the airbag, depending on model, the base is thicker, taller, higher, whatever. If the airbags are mismatched, when the air drains out the flattened airbags can be sitting at different heights.
    The reason I mentioned it to the op, is I've seen it happen a fair few times at my previous company. Leaning without air and not leaning when inflated.

    Of course it was mentioned it was a spring ride trailer, so none if it applies anyway.

    I P/U a load of dog food in a sealed trailer that I was hauling for a (buddy) that truck was in shop instead of my flat and turning out of drop lot it leaned over and trailer tires sat down on cross members and peeled the recaps like potato, the 5th wheel was at angle where it rocked all the way over, i walked back and got dock men to break seal and restack dog food there was 2 or 3 ft of air between pallets, it took for 3 hr. so i could back into drop yard and haul butt home, bud said it happen on ramp at co. term. ex.

    Hook it from side if it doesn't tip over you should be good.
