Helpful Expert Reply:

The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 13,000lbs # DM8550040 weighs approximately 300lbs and the Demco Hijacker Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rails and Custom Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Hitches # DM8552032-71 weighs approximately 74lbs.

Airbags will definitely help keep your ride level and prevent bottoming out more than some Timbren springs. I recommend installing the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle # AL88375. This hybrid spring system combines the adjustability of air springs with the reliability of jounce-style springs. The Jounce spring inside each air spring helps to improve ride comfort, reduce sway, and help with cornering. Manual inflation valves and air lines are included but you can also install The Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL74000EZ to easily inflate your airbags using either the included remote or from your phone with the app.
