Expert Reply:
It sounds like you're getting quite a bit of squat when you're towing, which is not uncommon and easily corrected with a suspension enhancement. I recommend using the Sumo Springs Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-117-47 (4wd truck) or # SSR-116-47 (2wd), which will do a great job of helping correct sag and sway when your 5th wheel is connected. I also really like that these don't affect your unloaded ride quality because they're progressively loading, so they're only going to engage when weight is applied to them. These jounce style springs are compatible with all in-bed hitches, as well.
I've linked a review and installation video that I recommend checking out, as well.
