Firestone Air Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2011 Ford Super Duty

Question

Question:

I have a 2011 Superduty with 6.7L Diesel. I will be towing my wifes 2008 Ford Explorer from Texas to PA on a Uhual carrier. I want to level out the truck while I tow for maximum ride comfort and control. That being said, I am inclined to install a set of air bags, and pump up to level out my truck before hitting the road. Am i missing anything?

I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
