Hey Eric, yes the Shocker Hitch HD Air Cushioned 2-Ball Mounts like the part # SHK74YR would work great for you. This will do a great job cushioning your towing setup and you will definitely feel a difference. You might be over your truck's towing capacity though so I'd be sure to check that and not exceed that figure.
