There were a few times when I was severely exceeding payload/GVWR and rear GAWR that it could have used them, but those were very rare and were situations I shouldn't have been in to begin with. Definitely adding them to my 1500 though and I'm sure leaving them full would be more noticeable on that.
the equalizer bars were great for towing a jeep behind the 1500 burb, but you are correct, totally unnecessary behind the 2500. when the bags came into play was towing the 28ft enclosed. the weight was only a little heavy to the tongue, but the weight was really spread out making it bounce constantly. as much as the bars helped, the bags helped me that much more again. no clue what that trailer weighted, but it was significant.
