I have added airbags to truck. I have more of a jerking than bouncing. My Reese hitch is hard to latch and unlatch at times. Know there is something wrong with hitch with this problem. My rv sets low in rear but unable to lower front any more due bed clearence.
Being nose high/low in rear, will cause the FW to pitch back/forth. Adding shocks to the FW will help, as would an air pin box.
The Patriot I mentioned has rubber mounts, that the hitch head rides on, so it would help some too.
IMO, the B&Ws are among the easiest, to hitch/unhitch, at any angle, or off level. Look at Tweety's .com, for best price, free shipping.

#1 get it level the rear axle will have a harder time with bumps than the front with the 5er nose high.
#2 PIN WEIGHT, make sure you have at least 15% should be closer to 20%.
#3 Shocks on the 5er, will cut down on bounce which you will feel as jerk.
