Based on my experience with my auto-leveling air suspension if you are already level without the air bags you'd probably need to drop the ball down an inch or two to account for the lift from the air bags. Some experimentation may be in order to determine the ideal psi in the air bags and how much lift is generated by that and whether or not the rear drops as much with the air bags in play as compared to the stock suspension.
I haven't really seen any difference in the front axle weights with the wdh engaged and the suspension enabled vs disabled so I've just focused on ensuring that the ball is not so high that when the suspension is activated (or psi is added to air bags) and counters the tongue weight it doesn't raise the tongue above level - I actually like it about an inch lower at the tongue than the bumper.
