Airbags installation for heavy 5th wheel
I made a video of my airbags installation on the truck a few weeks ago. My 5th wheel tows much more confidently, less bouncy with the extra support. For any interested: https://www.youtube.com/watc...

Are you within your tire ratings? I'd worry about that more than being 120 lbs over the axle rating.
I agree, tires are usually the most vulnerable point. The Toyo RT 37/12.50/20 are 3,750 each or 7,500. I'm good there but I still pay attention. I've learned to watch the tire psi on the dash as I tow. I set them all to max (65 psi) before I start in the morning and then watch the psi creep up to 71 -73 ish as the day goes on. Front tires were about 2 psi less than the backs which means more heat in those. They bear and drive the load so they do almost all the work. I find this an interesting way to keep track of tire temps. If one or more of the tires started reaching 75 psi I'd know something is wrong.
