With only 3,200# pin you should not have need to do anything to "level" your truck. Blisten's would have helped and not running over 55 psi on your rear tires. Airbag kingpin also helps!
I have about 4k in the truck with me and family and hitch and misc and the pin weight. I squatted about 4.5 inches when hooked up without timbrens. I am just under the 7k axle and gvwr of 12400. She is loaded down pretty good. I have a srw and with almost 7k on the drive axle I need my rear tires at max pressure (80). Tired r rated at 3640 at 80psi each, so not sure how I could run lower psi?
I have a 6'4" bed and went with same hitch you have so I needed a sidewinder pin box. The air ride sidewinder is only rated to 16k...my rig is 16500 gvwr so I went with the 19k non air ride sidewinder
I might well go to a ram dually with air ride and get a ts3 hitch and call it good....even though I just ordered my truck last year....will see how it does on a 3k mile trip this summer:)
