yes, 11R 22.5 55mph 1350rpm, 11R 24.5 55mph 1250rpm, not much but it does affect it

It couldn't. If anything, it would make it even harder, raising the rear and lowering the front of the trailer.
SCS must implement the airbags properly for it to work. Which they're in no hurry to do, considering it has been requested for years now (since the ETS2 Michelin pack release, with its troublesome 315/80 drives).

@xXCARL1992Xx I didn't think it was that much of an rpm difference. A 11R22.5 and low prp 24.5 are identical height wise.

if the diameter is the same (or almost) it will be the same, 11R 22.5 and 275/80 R 24.5 have the same diameter (1048mm VS 1049mm), so they will reach the same RPM at the same speed while 275/80 R22.5 (1018mm) will cause higher RPM at the same speed and 11R 24.5 (1099mm) will cause lower RPM

or the ability to extend the legs a little further before hooking up.

freight market would be problematic though, since the trailers come loaded, and you shouldn't be able to raise them. They have to have been unhooked from a tall truck. :?

they have to scrap the 1m-from.ground-to-hook-point mechanic and lift the trailer to at least 1.3m hight and add air ride suspension where we have to lift the back up to hook the trailer, this would solve more then 1 problem at once

Just allowing us to dump the bags would solve it anyway and wouldn't require any trailer changes.

and it would be a band aid solution again, if they do it then right wich is to inflate them and not dump out

Wait, what? I thought dumping the bags is what should be (and usually is) done. Or is it both/any of those depending on specific situation IRL?
