Fifth wheel towing
I have a F-150 XLT, 3.5 twin turbo. Would i be able to tow a 8000# fifth wheel, if I added E load range tires and air bags?

That's a definite maybe. E tires and air bags may or may not be needed.
If the pin weight of the FW doesn't overload your rear axle then it should work. An 8,000 pound FW is pretty small if that's the GVWR. Pin weight is likely only about 1,600 pounds. Add 100 pounds for your hitch and whatever else you put in the cab and the bed and see how that compares to your payload capacity on the door sticker.
