Wondering if I should go ahead and get airbags installed just to be safe. TV is 2016 F-250 Diesel. 5th wheel is Jayco Eagle HT 29.5 BHDS. GVWR of trailer is 9995 lbs, so I figure I should be slightly over 2k pin weight when loaded up.
Even with the softer rear spring pack of the Fords prior to 2017 you should be golden. Level truck hitched is a good thing.
