Yes,
but none of the levelers and sway bars will compensate for not enough tongue
weight.
They will just give you a sense of false security.
They do help, don't get me wrong but too often they are used to compensate
for the lack brains or common sense and availability of tow vehicle. All too
often you see someone who can't drive a Toyota or whatever hook their
Expedition to a huge camper and expect it to do 75 with no problems.
I would say that more problems are caused by too little weight than too much
weight. You would have to have a tremendous suspension on the rear of the
tow vehicle to support enough weight to transfer a lot of weight off the
front axle.
