How much are you willing to ?
I have an 2011 F250 6.7 4x4 crew cab shortbed. Sold the TT now in the market for a 5th wheel. What is is max load you would pull and still be very very comfortable towing. This ? includes pin weight. ...

Instead of air bags, you may want to look at Timbrens. Timbren Source. What I prefer about these is you don't have to worry about air. Also, when you don't have the fiver on it, your truck rides like a 2500.
Hmmmm,
Rough,
Do you think we would benefit from the Timbren kit?
I was wondering if these might help with the hard bounce effect when loaded up.
Our truck doesn't sag...it just feels much stiffer than before with the coach we just bought.
Stands to reason I guess now that we have 600# more over the pin than the previous 5ith wheel.
Had an AirLift system on our Ford F250.
I really didn't love that deal a whole lot.
They will keep you from bouncing as much when loaded as they will stop the rear from dropping as much. Myself as well as several in out Good Sams chapter now have the Timbrens. The big advantage is we are no longer blinding airplane pilots with our headlights shining up, and you don't need an air compressor as you do with air bags.
The thing that originally convinced me about going to Timbrens was one guy on this site reminded me that you have to maintain at least 5 lbs. pressure on the air bags. He said "heck...I can't get my employees to check the oil and water levels on my vehicles...I know they won't check the pressure on the air bags.
