I would however, consider an airbag system...one to improve comfort/ride, but also safety, towing and handling. Anyone have experience with those?
An airbag system will NOT increase any of your ratings, and it will not increase the safety of what you are trying to do.
A lot of folks come in here and ask the same question. They really want some validation that what they are trying to do is safe. It's not. Plenty of folks tell them the same thing. Folks don't want to hear it, but it's true.
You don't plan for your best day, you plan for your worst.

Get into the mindset of taxiing a 747 and you won't have any issues. It's not really THAT bad, but you do have to think longer and wider.
When we got our truck, we got the biggest we could get with the highest towing and weight-carrying capacity. That way, no matter what trailer we went with, we were good. With my daughter in her car seat in the back and my wife in the passenger seat, I feel very comfortable towing our rig with our setup.
