We have a good solution for you but the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-101-47-2 are not designed to fit trucks with 5th wheel hitches instead use the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2550. These will work with your 5th wheel and will give you 5,000 lbs of leveling capabilities. Firestones are the best in the business and hold up to very rugged use. You will be able to utilize these when towing or hauling but lower the pressure to 5 psi when not in use to have no difference other than some ride quality and handling improvements.

Based off of the research I was able to come up with your truck is rated for towing between 8,200 and 10,400 lbs. depending on how it is equipped so please keep that in mind and check your owner's manual to ensure that you are within the safe limits.

If you don't want to rely on outside sources of air use the Air Command Compressor System w/ Light Duty Compressor part # F2610 to be able to adjust anywhere you are on the fly using the included remote or your smartphone.

I have included links for you to check out for the product pages and the installation videos we have done here.
