Hello Joseph. Since you will be towing a 5th wheel, and hauling a truck bed camper, I highly recommend going with an extreme duty air bag kit with a dual path compressor system.

For the Air Bag Kit, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709. This is the 7,500 lb capacity kit which is ideal for heavier, more constant loads like a truck bed camper. They can be adjusted from 5 to 150 PSI, so you will be able to fine-tune your suspension to suit any towing or hauling situation.

The Firestone kit is also made to be compatible with an in-bed 5th wheel hitch. In some cases, the brackets from both kits can obstruct each other, but with the Firestone this will not be the case, making it the clear choice for you.

For a compressor I really like the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL58WQ. Firstly, this is a dual path compressor. Meaning both bags are inflated independently. This is especially advantageous for when you are hauling your truck camper as it will allow you to compensate for a potentially uneven load.

This compressor is also wireless and Bluetooth compatible. Everything is controlled via the Air Lift Smartphone app. The app is great because it gives you easy, straightforward controls right at your fingertips. It also gives you real time diagnostics and towing info, features you do not get with a basic compressor. Since it sounds like you will be using this system fairly frequently, the convenience of the app control is definitely a worthwhile investment.

I have linked our install and review videos below if you want a more in depth look at the products I recommended. Feel free to comment below if you need anything else.
