I do have a solution for you to add some suspension enhancement to your 2008 Toyota Tundra but unfortunately there are no air bag kits that will fit with the Curt Double Lock Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C60751 or any other gooseneck/5th wheel hitch on the 6-1/2' bed of your pickup.

There are 2 different suspension enhancements that you can utilize and since they are both excellent products it all depends on if you are okay with drilling or not.

The TorkLift StableLoad Rear Suspension Upgrade w Quick-Disconnects # TLA7311 is designed to activate your overload spring quicker than normal so that you get the extra support a lot sooner than just when your vehicle is overloaded. This system has quick disconnects which allow you to deactivate them when you aren't hauling anything.

The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS4611TD isn't as cost-effective but it also doesn't require drilling which makes the installation process much easier. This kit adds another spring to your suspension but you can adjust the tension for it to get the best enhancement for your application.

Please note that in either case you won't increasing the weight rating of your Tundra, just giving your suspension some help. I have attached review videos of each system that you can check out.
