Expert Reply:
Your 100 gallon tank will add about 840 lbs plus the tank weight when full. Whether you can pull a trailer or not is not the issue, but rather how big a trailer. According to the 2010 Ram Towing guide you will be limited to 13,400 towing. The older trucks even though big, are not able to tow what the newer models are capable of.
For your air bags, I recommend the Firestone Ride Rite # F2701. They have a 7500 lb load leveling capacity to help your truck keep the headlights out of the sky. You may also be interested in the on-board air compressor system # F2097 for adjustments depending on your load.
