As stated, 5er is too heavy for that truck...lift doesn't help any, nor will airbags....You're talking dually country if the GVW of the 5er is 18,000#...IF loaded to that, pin weight could easily hit 3600#.
Using my 5er which only has a GVW of 16,950, loaded to a little over 16,000# now, has a pin weight of 3340#.
The 5er you want needs "more truck,the one you have can tow it, but it won't be much fun...Air bags level the load, don't help raise GVW.
Jim, you went ,and did it with that airbag statement . :B
I can't imagine towing with a pin weight up over 3000#. with a 3/4 ton,or a 1 ton SRW. Way too much fifth wheel with that truck, and no air bags are not going to help that load, maybe get him off his overloads.
